Conditions at Seccheto in December
December: The Apex of Winter Swell
December is the crown jewel of Seccheto's surf season. Average swell height peaks at 1.0m (3ft+) and the period ties for the annual high at 5.2s. While the S-family percentage (SSE 9.5%, S 8.3%, SSW 7.3%) is actually lower than in autumn, those 25.1% of days are the most powerful, with a greater share in the 1-2.5m range. The wind climate is a mixed bag: NE (10.9%), NNE (9.4%) and NNW (8.7%) offer plenty of offshore opportunities, while SE (7.4%) and S (9.4%) can ruin it. Water temp has fallen to 15.9°C and air to 13.5°C, but the increased storm activity over the Med makes every southeast-angled low a potential window of opportunity. If you want to surf Seccheto at its most substantial, this is the month to watch.
