Conditions at Tombstones in November
November: Summer Approaches, Consistency Fades
November is the weakest of the shoulder months. Average swell height drops to 4.6ft (1.4m), period falls to 11.8s, and ideal wind is only 10%. Swell directions stay in the SSW (41.7%) and SW (53.5%) envelope, but the shorter periods mean less punch and more fat, crumbling shapes. Wind is still strongly from the S (30.5%) and SSW (34.1%), often too strong to be clean. Air temp climbs to 25.5°C, water is 23.1°C, and rain is minimal at 0.13mm/day. A late-season frontal pulse can still light up the reefs, but the overall consistency is clearly fading as summer approaches.
