January: Monsoon Pulse at Medewi
The northwest monsoon is pumping, and January delivers consistent SSW swell to the SSW-facing boulder point. Around 69 percent of the swell is pure SSW, 29 percent is SW, and the average period of 12.2s puts this in the powerful long-period zone. Wave heights are mainly in the 2-3ft and 3-5ft bands (0.6-1m and 1-1.5m), with only around 4 percent pushing into the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range. The catch is the wind: W/NW flow dominates, while true offshore N-NNE wind is limited to around 9 percent of the time. Still, 30 percent of the month is rated ideal, which shows up as clean morning windows before the daily rain and cross-shore westerlies arrive. Air temperatures average 25.5C, water temperature is a warm 29.2C, and 10mm of daily rainfall keeps the surrounding jungle lush.
