December: The Holiday Lull
December is the start of Acapulquito's low season. Average swell height falls to 0.8m (2.6ft), the period drops to 11.9s, and ideal wind conditions are the worst of the year at 64%. S swell is still present at 40.5%, with SSW at 28.8%, but N, NNE, and NNW swell begin to appear in more meaningful amounts. Most energy is trapped in the small 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) range, with only about 15% reaching 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft). The wind pattern becomes more variable, with NNW and NNE flows prominent, and true offshore WNW/NW windows become less frequent. Sea surface temperature cools to 24.5°C, air temperatures average 22.1°C, and precipitation remains light at 0.36 mm/day. For the dedicated surfer, there are still occasional long-period southern pulses that light up the cove, but December is generally a month for patience, smaller boards, and humble expectations.
