Conditions at Playa Venao in December
December: Dry-Season Gold Returns
December is the cleanest month of the year at Playa Venao. The ideal wind percentage rockets to 76 percent, driven by strong NNW, N and NNE offshore flow, while rainfall drops dramatically to 4.82mm/day. The trade-off is a slightly shorter average period of 10.3s and an average height of around 3.3ft (1m), but when SSW and SW swells combine for 53 percent of the energy, the surf is fun, rideable and glassy. Air temps average 26.6°C and water temp holds at 28.0°C. This is the month to enjoy long, clean sessions in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range before the southern-hemisphere groundswell peaks in the spring.
