Conditions at Lefthanders in November
November: The Summer Lull Begins
November is the beginning of the summer lull. Average swell height drops back to 6ft (1.9m), period shortens to 12.2s, and the powerful winter consistency fades. Swell is still mostly SW (38.9%) and SSW (20.0%), with WSW at 13.3%, so the direction remains favorable. Wind, however, shifts strongly to SSE (18.4%), S (13.6%) and SE (13.1%), putting the cross-onshore bump back in the water. Ideal offshore flow is only 17% of the time, and the lighter wind strengths mean less surface chop but also less push. Air temps warm to 17.1°C, water recovers to 19.1°C, and rain drops to 0.98 mm/day. For the average surfer, this is a marginal month - but early-season groundswells can still light up the reef.
