Conditions at Neminja in January
January: Midwinter Power
January is peak winter at Neminja. The mean swell height is 3.2m (10.5ft) and the average period is 12.9s, placing most waves in the powerful to very powerful long-period range. The largest share of the swell comes from the WNW-NW-NNW corridor, which together accounts for nearly 25 percent of all observations; however, the swells that truly light up this south-west facing beach are the W, WSW, SW and SSW lines, which appear in smaller but meaningful numbers and deliver the best shape along the sand bar. Wind is the limiting factor. The ideal wind blows just 22 percent of the time, with NNE, NE, ENE and E directions combining for around 31 percent, while the onshore SSW, SW and WSW sectors make up another 31 percent. On clean offshore days, expect long-period, heavy waves, often in the 8-12ft (2.4-3.7m) range. Air temperatures average 11.6°C with 5.41 mm/day of rain and water temp 13.8°C, so a good 4/3 is essential.
