Conditions at Gas Bay in November
November: Summer Wind, Autumn Swell
November sees the average swell height fall back to 1.9m (6.2ft), but there is still enough period at 12.2s to produce proper surf. The direction mix remains favorable: SW leads at 38.9%, SSW adds 20.0%, WSW contributes 13.3% and W 2.4%, so the SSW-SW/WSW corridor is packed with rideable groundswell. Heights are mostly in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) band, with the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class also well represented. The wind, however, shifts back toward the summer pattern. SSE (18.4%), S (13.6%) and SE (13.1%) dominate, while the ideal NE offshore flow drops to 15% of the time. It's a month that can either feel like spring leftovers or early summer fickleness. Water temps rise to 18.9°C, air temperatures average 17.1°C, and rain drops to 0.98mm/day. Early morning remains the best bet for clean conditions before the southeastern sea breeze takes over.
