Conditions at Maraa in December
December: Clean Summer Rippability
December is the cleanest summer month at Maraa. The wind is ideal 42 percent of the time - tied for the year's best - with E at 21 percent, ENE at 17 percent and NE at 9.5 percent combining for a consistent offshore component. Swell size is modest, averaging 5-6ft (1.7m), and the period drops to 11.4 seconds, the shortest of the year. Directions are mixed: S at 22 percent and SSE at 21 percent provide most of the energy, while SW at 5.5 percent, WSW at 2.5 percent and W at 1.5 percent add occasional west-angled pulse.
This is a great month for fun, rippable waves rather than heavy reef dredging. Tropical weather patterns bring wet-season electricity, with air temps near 26.6°C, water 28.1°C and rainfall climbing to 7.5 mm/day - the wettest month. When a passing tropical low or late-season cyclone sends a pulse of S to SW energy into the offshore wind, Maraa can suddenly turn on; otherwise it stays clean, user-friendly and best on the lighter summer swells.
