Conditions at North Stradbroke Island in November
November: The Summer Trade Machine Returns
November sees the South Pacific High re-establish its grip over the Coral Sea, and the surf quality takes a noticeable hit. Swell averages 1.1m (3-4ft) at a shorter 7.9s period, with E (20%) and ESE (19%) swell dominant. The wind regime swings back toward summer: SE (12%), ESE (10%) and E (7%) combine with a strong NNE flow (12%) to make cross/onshore conditions frequent, while ideal offshore flow drops to just 15%. Water temp has climbed to 24.0°C, air temps average 22.8°C, and precipitation is back up to 3.35mm/day. The surf is generally small, lumpy and short-period - only a late-afternoon W/SW change or an early NW offshore will open up the banks for a clean session. Not the month to book around unless you like to gamble.
