December: Monsoon Surf and Rainy Windows
December closes the year with a classic wet-season setup. Swell remains highly directional: 86 percent SSW, 13 percent SW, and a touch of WSW, with an average height of 1.0m (3ft) and a 12.4s period. The bulk of surf is 2-5ft (0.6-1.5m), with occasional 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) pulses from stronger SSW/SW events. The wind pattern shifts back to the W/WSW/SW quadrant, and about 41 percent of the wind distribution blows from the onshore sector. Ideal wind is only 18 percent, so quality sessions are tied to overnight and early-morning land breezes. Once the sea breeze or monsoon wind fills in, conditions can become messy. With air temps around 25.8C, water temperature at 29.3C, and 8.14mm/day of rain, pack the boardshorts and the rain jacket for December at Medewi.
