December: Peak Offshore Reliability
December is the most consistent month of the year for clean conditions, with ideal wind at 75 percent - the highest mark of the full calendar. Average swell height is 2.6ft (0.8m) and the average period is 12.6s, typical of early winter groundswell. Swell direction is dominated by W (38.0 percent), WSW (25.7 percent), and WNW (24.4 percent), with SW adding 9.9 percent. The peak offshore flow comes from the NE and ENE quadrants - ENE is the top wind direction at 16.4 percent - and speeds are almost always light, so surface conditions are frequently clean. Air temperature cools to 21.3°C, water drops to 25.4°C, and rainfall is just 0.57mm/day. While the swell direction can be a touch west-heavy, the crisp morning offshore wind and consistent long-period energy make December a reliable month for glassy, playful waves at this southwest-facing break.
