Conditions at Sulingan Beach in December
December: The Amihan Peak Threatens
December brings the northeast monsoon into full force, producing the largest average swells of the year. The wave rose shows 2.0m (6.5ft) average height at 9.9s, with NE 46.0 percent and ENE 31.1 percent dominating; the swell is as good as it gets from a direction standpoint. The wind, however, is a disaster for surf quality: NE 31.4 percent, ENE 29.3 percent, NNE 11.3 percent and E 9.1 percent leave onshore conditions roughly 81 percent of the time, with ideal offshore wind at only 2 percent. Expect solid 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) surf, often lumpy and sectioned by strong trades. December is also one of the wettest months, with 15.00 mm/day of rain, air temperatures of 27.5°C and water of 28.1°C. For most surfers, this month is best spent waiting for a rare westerly wind day.
