December: Monsoon Return and Onshore Mess
December closes the year with the northwest monsoon back in control. Wind ideal drops to 34%, and the compass fills with WSW (15.8%), W (16.4%), WNW (10.1%), SW (11.1%), NW (5.4%) and NNW (6.4%) - the wrong side of the offshore/onshore equation for this northwest-facing beach. Swell remains at a respectable 1.3m (4-5ft) with a 12.8s period, still arriving from SSW (63.7%) and SW (35.9%). The waves are there, but the wind makes them lumpy, sectiony and hard to read. Rain returns in force at 7.56mm/day, air is 26.9°C and water is 29.9°C.
Patience is key: when a transient break in the monsoon allows a clean SSE-S wind flow and the westerlies ease, you can still find a diamond in the rough. But December is largely for the committed.
