What to expect in December

A quiet festive-season escape — about 61% rideable days, slightly below January.

December cools into the winter season — around 22 °C air and water — and a shorty covers most days. Our station record shows about 61% rideable days, the lowest monthly share in the current record and slightly below January. It is quiet before Christmas, then becomes livelier over the festive period, so keep some non-wind plans alongside your sessions.

One thing to expect every day, year-round: the wind here is a north/north-west thermal that builds late morning and peaks in the afternoon — so early mornings can be calm. We plan your sessions around that rhythm, and you can always check the live wind and our 16-day forecast before you head out.
