December: Long-Period Winter Swell and the Year's Most Reliable Offshore Winds
December is the crown jewel of the Pascuales year. Average swell height is a user-friendly 4-5ft (1.3m), and the 13.7s average period gives those waves real travel speed and shape. The direction profile shifts to WSW and W at 31% and 29%, with SW at 25%, SSW at 8% and WNW at 7%. While there is more westerly energy than in late autumn, the long period allows it to wrap and refract into the southwest-facing beach with surprising consistency.
The defining factor is wind. December posts the highest ideal wind score of the year at 47%, with the N/NE offshore pattern firing through the dry 'Norte' season. Air temperatures are milder at 22.9°C, rainfall is almost nil at 0.25 mm/day and water temperature is 27.8°C. Clean 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) waves, warm water, little rain and reliable offshore mornings make December the month to circle on the calendar.
