Conditions at Los Quebrantos in December
December: Peak Consistency
December is the statistical crown jewel for consistency. Average swell is 1.6m (5.2ft), average period 12.4s, and the highest ideal-wind percentage of the year at 63%. NW swell (39.2%) and NNW (18.1%) are joined by a beefy WNW contribution (17.6%), meaning the bay gets hit from a full northwest to west-northwest window. The offshore S/SSW/SW quadrant is at its annual peak - 31.9% of all winds - producing more clean, glassy, firing days than any other month. Water temperatures hover at a frigid 13.8°C, air averages 9.2°C, and 3.41mm/day of rain keeps the coastline lush. Long-period NW groundswell and offshore southerlies are the recipe for Los Quebrantos at its heaviest.
