Conditions at White Plains Beach in December
December: The Shadowed Season
December wraps up the year with the full return of winter energy. Average swell is a solid 6ft (1.8m) with a 12.1s period, but the sources are again mostly NNW (14%) and NW (12.7%) - both bad for the south-facing coast. There's still a fair amount of ENE (18.1%) and NE (9.4%) swell, which can wrap into the bay, and the rare south pulse (S/SSW at ~1%) remains exceptional. Ideal wind days are 21%, and when a brisk N/NNE wind cleans up a small SSE swell, the beach offers surprisingly fun, glassy surf. Water temp is still warm at 25.0°C, air averages 23.6°C, and rain is at 2.29 mm/day - winter has a damp feel, but the tropical seas stay surfable.
