November: Losing Size, Gaining Cleanliness
November is a transitional shoulder month. The average swell height settles back to 1.9m (6.2ft) and the period eases to 12.2s. The swell direction remains remarkably consistent - SW at 38.9%, WSW at 13.3% and a continued S/SSW feed - so the breaks stay active. The wind regime shifts decisively toward summer: SSE becomes the dominant breeze at 18.4%, with SE and S also well represented. That means clean, often glassy mornings before a south/southeast seabreeze kicks in. Ideal wind sits at 16%, and the combination of solid but less fearsome swell with cleaner conditions makes November a friendly month for intermediate surfers. Water temp averages 18.9°C, air temp 17.1°C, precipitation remains low at 0.98 mm/day, and the high pressure rhythm starts to dominate.
