December: Peak Season Crown Jewel
December is the statistical peak of the northeast monsoon at Mona Lisa Point. Average swell height rises to 2.6ft (0.8m), the average period peaks at 8.1s - the strongest, most organized of the year - and ideal wind reaches an annual high of 30 per cent. The swell directional spread is almost entirely NNW at 91 per cent, with 19 per cent of readings in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class and 6 per cent in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class. That means a real, rippable, fun-sized surf is on the table whenever the wind is right. N and NNE winds dominate the northern flow and the offshore NE/ENE/E/ESE quadrant remains active enough to groom the swell. Rainfall drops to 1.46mm/day, air temperatures average 27.5°C (81.5°F) and water temperature settles at 27.1°C (80.8°F). It is the month to plan a trip around.
