Conditions at Lucky Point in December
December: Maximum Power, Minimum Polish
December is the most powerful month of the year at Lucky Point. The average surf height reaches 2.1m (6-8ft / 1.8-2.4m), with 9.5-second periods and a constant conveyor belt of ENE (48.0%) and NE (29.0%) swell. The wave-height distribution is heavily loaded in the 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m classes, so there is no shortage of raw, thumping ocean energy. The catch is that the northeast monsoon is in full force: NE and ENE winds account for 63.7% of observations, while ideal offshore wind plummets to just 1%. It is a classic winter pattern of plenty of size and very little order.
On the rare day when a high-pressure system shifts the wind to the west or southwest, Lucky Point becomes a heavy, firing wave. For most of the month, though, expect blown-out walls and a bumpy surface. Precipitation peaks at 18.57 mm/day, air temps are 26.8°C, and the water is a warm 27.9°C.
