January: Peak Winter Punch
January kicks off the new year with a healthy mix of swell sources. The wave rose shows a near-even split between NE/ENE energy and the SSW/S corridor, with SSW (22.5%) and NE (22.2%) sharing the top spot. For this SSE-facing beach, the southern energy is the gold - S and SSW combine for over 35% of the distribution, plus a scattering of SSE and SE groundswell. Average wave heights sit at 4.6ft (1.4m), with the bulk of surf in the 3.3-4.9ft (1-1.5m) range and plenty of 4.9-6.6ft (1.5-2m) runners from the NE/ENE source, though those swell directions are less efficient here.
The 11.0s average period puts this in the powerful long-period class, and with ideal offshore wind 54% of the time, the beach can absolutely groom those southern lines. Air temperatures average 66.7°F (19.3°C), water sits at a balmy 79.3°F (26.3°C), and rainfall is negligible at 0.12 mm/day. It's dry, clean, and punchy - a proper winter staple for the coast.
