November: Sea Breezes and Unstable Windows
November marks the slow slide into summer. Average swell is still 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), but the period has dropped to 11.1s and ideal wind falls to 15%. The wave rose remains full of SSW energy at 51.8%, with S at 21.1% and SW at 20.4%. Although the height averages are respectable, many of these waves are shorter-period and less organized than the winter giants, with the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) category fading to 1.9%.
The wind becomes the limiting factor. SSE, SE and S winds combine for nearly 50% of the distribution, and this onshore/cross-onshore flow is relentless during the day. The best windows are early mornings before the seabreeze ramps up, or right before a cold front delivers a burst of NW wind. Water temp is 16.4°C and air is 17.1°C, so it feels warmer, but the surf is less consistent. Pick your windows and you can still find fun, rippable waves.
