January: Clean, Tropical Winter Lines
January is a transitional month at Chacahua. The average swell is 4ft (1.2m) with a period of 11.9s - solid, rideable groundswell, but not yet pumping. The SSW quadrant is the leading source at 27.4%, with S and SW swells adding another 26.9%, while ENE/E/ESE/SE directions make up a notable 33.7% of the wave spectrum. Those side/east swells are less favourable at this SSW-facing beach, so quality is strongest when the SSW/SW component dominates. The wind is clean and offshore 55% of the time, with N/NNW/NW flow prevailing; air temperature averages 27.3°C and water temperature sits at a warm 27.2°C. Expect dry, sunny days, a chocolate-box beach setting, and head-high-plus waves whenever a south pulse fills in.
