Conditions at La Roccetta in January
January: Deep-Winter Punch
January is one of the most consistent months of the year. The average wave is 3ft (0.9m) with a period around 5.1s, and ideal offshore wind from N, NNE, NE and NNW blows 12% of the time. The swell rose is led by SW at 15.8% and WSW at 13.2%, with strong secondary contributions from SSE (9.0%), S (8.4%) and SSW (6.2%) - a great mix for the south-facing beach. Most waves fall in the 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) range, but a healthy share of 3-8ft (1-2.5m) pulses arrives from the SW/WSW sector, especially when a low settles over the central Mediterranean. Expect average, punchy conditions rather than long-period groundswell. With air temperatures around 9.9°C, water temperature 14.4°C and moderate rainfall near 2mm/day, it is cold but often workable, especially under a NE/NNE offshore wind.
