December marks peak season for Hawaii's North Shore and consistent swells across Central America, with Europe deep into winter swell mode.
December is the heart of the Northern Hemisphere winter swell season. Hawaii's North Shore is at its most powerful, with Pipeline, Sunset, and Waimea Bay all on. Portugal and Morocco are getting battered by North Atlantic storms. Central America is catching good Northwest groundswell from the same systems. If you want the biggest, most consistent waves of the year, December is your month.
