Conditions at San Augustin in January
January: Winter NE Mix
January delivers average swell heights around 4-5ft (1.4m) with an average period of 11s, putting the surf at the lower end of the powerful long-period range. The wave rose is a mixed bag: NE and ENE swells make up more than 35% of the observations, with a solid chunk in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range, but these directions are less efficient at San Augustin's south-facing beach. The more favorable SSE/S/SSW/SW quadrant still accounts for roughly 48% of the spread, including a healthy 1-1.5m (3-5ft) peak from SSW, which keeps the spot alive whenever the South Pacific sends something of quality.
Winds behave well for surf about 59% of the time, with N, NNE, NE and NNW breezes dominating and most staying in the light 0-10kph class. This is deep dry season in southern Mexico: air temperatures average 27.2°C, water temperature is 26.8°C and precipitation is almost nonexistent at 0.11mm/day. Score a morning with a fresh N/NW offshore breeze and wait for one of the longer-period SSW pulses - that is when January still has a few tricks up its sleeve.
