Conditions at The Alley in November
November: Wet Season Windswell
November is a low-quality month despite plenty of ocean movement. The average swell height sits at 1.0m (3.3ft), the period is short at 7.3s, and ideal wind hours drop to 24 percent. E (24.6%) and ESE (20.8%) remain dominant, but ENE (17.3%), NE (10.9%), and NNE (11.1%) add to a messy multi-directional windswell field. NNW winds (20.1%) keep the surface bumpy, while NNE (9.1%) and SSE (10.5%) reinforce the pattern; true W/SW offshore flow is rare. Air temps climb to 22.6°C, water temps to 22.6°C, and precipitation averages 3.08 mm/day. Unless a tropical low or strong inland trough creates a temporary offshore change, November is best saved for bank-building and longboard days.
