Conditions at Blue Bowls in December
December: Easterly Swell Returns in the Middle of Winter
December marks the start of the low season at Blue Bowls, but it is also when the swell direction begins to swing back toward the optimum east-southeast window. SE swell (14%), SSE (17%) and S (21%) lead the mix, with ESE (7%) and E (2%) making a return. Average height is 1.2m (4ft), period is 10.2s, and the bulk of waves sit in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class. The wind pattern is a true transition: WNW (15%), W (13%), NW (12%) and NNW (12%) give plenty of clean, offshore-orientated windows, but NNE (8%), NE (8%) and ENE (7%) winds can also blow straight into the beach and chop things up. Ideal conditions sit at 46%, so it's a mixed bag: some glassy mornings with clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf, other days of onshore slop. Rain is 5.30 mm/day and water temperature is 28.8°C.
