Conditions at Stuart Public Beach in December
December: Winter Locks In
December delivers the full winter menu. Average height is a solid 4ft (1.2m), period is 8.0s, and ideal wind improves to 22 percent as cold fronts roll through more often. The swell directions are well balanced across Stuart's sweet spot: NE 21%, ENE 19.5%, NNE 14%, E 13%, with N and NNW adding a little extra variety. There is substantial 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) energy, especially from the NE and ENE, so good days offer proper head-high to overhead surf. What makes December special is the wind: after frontal passages, NNW/NW winds often clock west and southwest, grooming the northeast swell into clean lines instead of choppy mush. Water temp is 23.8°C, air averages 21.6°C, and precipitation is the lowest of the late-year months at 2.11 mm/day.
