Conditions at Woolamai in November
November: Storm Track Retreats, Wind Turns Onshore
November sees winter groundswell lose some of its punch. Average swell height drops back to 1.5m (5ft), the average period shortens to 11.5s, and the swell direction becomes less west-heavy with SW at 46.8% and SSW back up to 24.7%. The wind signal deteriorates: SE (10.3%), SSE (10.2%), S (8.8%) and SSW (7.9%) all increase, while offshore N/NNW flow decreases sharply; only 13.7% of observations come from the offshore quadrant and ideal conditions fall to 25%. Air temp rises to 14.7°C, water temp to 15.3°C, rain is 2.24 mm/day. You can still score clean 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves if a south swell coincides with a NW morning, but the quality window is much narrower.
