Conditions at Punta Rocas in December

Punta Rocas in December offers consistent, powerful waves with an average swell height of 1.4m and a solid period of 13.4s, indicating well-formed, clean waves. The swell predominantly comes from the SSW (30% of swells at 1-1.5m and 20% at 1.5-2m) and SW (27% at 1-1.5m and 12% at 1.5-2m), delivering quality right-hand point breaks. Only 2% of wind conditions are ideal (light offshore), but the wind is mostly onshore from the S (34% at 10-20kph) and SSE (13% at 10-20kph), which can create choppy conditions. Expect occasional bigger sets (2-2.5m, 3% SSW), but most waves are in the 1-2m range, making it suitable for experienced surfers who can handle a mix of clean and wind-affected conditions. The spot works best when winds are light or variable, but mornings often provide the cleanest waves before onshore winds pick up.
