Conditions at Parada Santa in January
January: Peak Amihan, Clean Yet Direction-Challenged
The northeast monsoon is in full control in January, with ideal offshore wind present 61% of the time. NE (17.0%), ENE (20.5%) and NNE (9.8%) winds keep Parada Santa's southwest-facing beach clean and glassy, while air temps average a comfortable 23.7°C and rainfall is low at 0.81 mm/day. Swell averages around 3ft (1.0m) at a 7.7s period - a punchy, rideable wave by the period scale. However, most energy arrives from N (33.8%) and NNE (43.0%), with NNW adding 18.2%; the ideal S-SW window is nearly absent. This creates surf that can be a little soft and wrapping rather than raw and hollow, but the offshore texture makes it fun and grovel-friendly. Water temperature sits at 25.6°C, so the winter swell is clean, comfortable and worth paddling out for.
