Conditions at T-Street in January
January: Winter West Swell and Glassy Offshore Mornings
January is right in the heart of the North Pacific storm track, sending a steady diet of W and WSW groundswell toward southwest-facing T-Street. The swell window is dominated by W at 49.9% and WSW at 33.4%, with SW adding another 10.7%. Average wave heights sit around 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m), but the 12.1s average period keeps the waves punching well above their raw size. Ideal offshore wind blows 53% of the time, with NE and NNE winds combining for roughly 35% of the wind distribution - perfect for grooming the southwest-facing walls. Water temperature is 14.1°C, air temps average 13.2°C, and precipitation is 2.35mm/day, so expect occasional rain fronts between the clean offshore windows. The best sessions are tied to early-morning NE flow before the afternoon sea breeze arrives.
