Conditions at Express Point in November
November: Spring Warm-Up, Consistency Fades
November is the month when the Southern Ocean's grip loosens. The average height eases to 4.6ft (1.4m), period drops to 11.6s, and ideal wind falls to 18 percent. Swell direction remains favourable - SW at 53 percent, SSW at 19 percent, WSW at 9.5 percent - but the energy is softer and less frequent. The wind rose swings back to onshore form: SW at 12.5 percent, WSW at 11.3 percent, SSW at 10.8 percent and S at 7.9 percent, while dependable NNW flow shrinks to just 5.3 percent. A morning offshore breeze can still groom waist-to-shoulder-high peaks, but the afternoon SW seabreeze will usually win. Water temperature rises to 15.5°C and air averages 15.1°C. Rideable, fun-sized days remain, but this is no longer the reliable firing season.
