Conditions at Bedhuge in December
December: The East Swell Returns, Onshore
December marks the full return of the northeast monsoon, and Bedhuge sees a significant eastward shift in swell. E swell leads at 23.1 percent, with ESE at 17.4 percent, ENE at 15.2 percent, SE at 9.4 percent, and NE at 1.8 percent also present. Average swell height is around 3ft (1m), the period is 6.4s, and ideal offshore wind drops to 32 percent. The problem is the matching wind pattern: NE at 16.0 percent, ENE at 12.8 percent, NNE at 10.2 percent, and E at 6.3 percent create plenty of onshore or side-onshore texture. When a rare W/NW offshore breeze lines up with the E/ENE swell, the reef can offer quick, punchy waves; otherwise December is a lumpy transition back into the low season. Air temperatures are 27.3°C, rain averages 5.89mm/day, and water temperature is 28.6°C.
