December: The Season Comes Together
December is where Playa Linda's surf season truly comes together. The average swell height drops back to 3ft (1.0m) and the period holds at 13.2s, so this is never a giant-wave destination. But the directional mix is the healthiest of the year: SW 43.1%, SSW 42.8%, WSW 11.4% and W 1.7%, giving the west-southwest facing beach a much higher percentage of focused, groomable energy. The dry season is fully established - only 0.20mm/day of rainfall - air temperatures sit at a pleasant 27.4°C, and water temperatures remain warm at 28.8°C. Offshore NE/NNE morning winds are common, and ideal wind conditions occur 42% of the time. The result is a month of clean, fun-sized, rippable waves, the perfect orientation for the holiday surf traveller. It may not have the biggest average, but the combination of direction, clarity and warmth makes December one of the most surf-happy months of the year.
