November: Summer Approaches, Windows Get Shorter
November is a transitional month in the true sense. Average swell height falls back to 6ft (1.9m) and the period shortens to 12.2 seconds. The swell direction is still predominantly SW/SSW/WSW, but the intensity of the Southern Ocean has eased. Smiths still sees rideable waves, though the power and consistency are clearly winding down.
Wind patterns begin to favour the SSE/S sea breeze again, and ideal offshore flow drops to 19 percent. Mornings are your friend, as a light S/SSW flow often precedes an afternoon SSE seabreeze in the 20-40kph range. Water temperatures warm to 19.0°C, air temperatures average a mild 17.6°C, and rain is only 0.93mm/day. It is a pleasant, smaller-wave month with good opportunities for logging or longboard style.
