January: The Northeast Monsoon Cranks Up
January is one of Car-rille's best months. The northeast monsoon is in full swing, delivering a dominant NNW swell that accounts for 91 percent of the wave energy, with another 7.8 percent from the N. Most of this energy falls in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, and the average period of 7.8s puts it right in the punchy, rideable zone. The direction is a bit north of the ideal WSW-WNW window, but the west-facing beach still picks up plenty of clean lines. Winds are predominantly from the N/NNE/NNW, which keeps the surface mostly offshore or cross-offshore, and the reported ideal wind of 25 percent is among the best of the year. With air temps around 26.5°C, water temperature at 26.1°C, and only 0.56mm/day of rain, it is a comfortable, consistent surf month.
