December: Full Force of Winter Groundswell
December matches January as the statistical peak of the year: 2.7m (8.9ft) average swell and a 12.4s period. Ideal NNW swell is back at 14.1%, NW adds 4.1%, and N along with NNE provide the supporting cast. This is the month when the North Atlantic low-pressure conveyor belt is most active; strong cold fronts and coastal storms generate long-period swells that reach Log Cabins with real size and power. Sets in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range are common, and the bigger 2.5m+ (8ft+) pulses make for serious sessions.
Offshore east winds continue to dominate - E 29.1%, ENE 24.8%, ESE 8.6% - giving clean conditions 26% of the time. Water temp drops to 24.8°C, air to 23.6°C, while precipitation peaks at 2.29mm/day. Winter swell, warm water and offshore trades: December is the full package at Log Cabins.
