Conditions at Panaitan Rights in December
December: Monsoon Magic Returns
December brings the northwest monsoon back in full swing, and Panaitan Rights turns the corner toward quality surf. The average swell remains 1.5m (5ft), but the period is 12.3s and the direction is now heavily favorable: SSW leads at 46.7%, SW adds 22.8%, WSW contributes 14.8%, and W adds 5.1%. Offshore W and WNW winds jump to 36% combined, and ideal conditions reach 34%. The southeast trades fade to a fraction of their low-season intensity, so the reef starts producing clean, rippable waves in the 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) range again. With air temps at 27.4°C, water at 29.2°C, and rain building to 8.59mm/day, the wet season is well entrenched - but at Panaitan, that's exactly how you want it.
