January: Clean Winter Regularity
January brings the most stable offshore setup of the year. The average swell height sits at 1.0m (about 3ft) and the average period is a healthy 13.3 seconds, meaning the waves are long-period and powerful without being oversized. The swell window is dominated by SSW (26%) and SW (43%) with a secondary WSW component (25%), and almost the entire distribution falls in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range - perfect for a groveler or a shortboard. Offshore winds blow 61% of the time, with NNE (20%) and NE (15%) the most common directions, and speeds are light, mostly under 10kph. With air temperatures near 27°C, water at 28.3°C and only 0.52mm/day of rain, January is hard to beat for fun, clean, user-friendly surf.
