Conditions at The Radisson in December
December: Winter Sets the Stage
December closes the year in fine form. Average swell height is 0.9m, period 8.6s, and ideal wind frequency hits 15%. The wave rose shows a solid blend of E (23.4%), ENE (24.2%) and NE (15.3%), with a renewed contribution from NNE (9.4%) and even N-NW groundswell entering the mix - a sign of true North Atlantic winter genetics. Wind observations are led by NNW (13.1%), which for an ENE-facing beach is cross-offshore and can groom the break wonderfully. Favorable W, WNW and NW flow totals are higher than most of the year, keeping quality above the summer baseline. Water temperature cools to 22.3°C and air temperature to 19.1°C, with light precipitation at 2.09mm/day. December is essentially a slightly bigger, slightly punchier version of January, and the arrival of strong frontal systems makes it one of the more reliable months for finding clean, 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) surf at The Radisson.
