November: Power on the Rise, Wind Still Messy
November continues the spring paradox: lots of swell, difficult conditions. Average swell is around 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m), period is 8.5s, and the E and ENE directions dominate with 20.4 and 21.8 percent respectively. The ESE window also contributes 17.1 percent, giving the beach plenty of east-groundswell energy. Solid 5-6.5ft and 6.5-8ft waves make up a significant portion, so there is genuine size on offer.
However, the NE trade wind is at its annual peak, blowing 27.7 percent of the time, with ENE adding 17.2 percent. The ideal wind score sinks to 16 percent, the lowest of the year. Offshore W/NW flow is rare, and most days feature a choppy, cross-onshore texture. At least the water is warming up to 20.4°C and air temperatures average 19.3°C (ranging from 8.9°C to 32.1°C), so you can be comfortable while searching for the occasional clean northwest wind day. Rainfall eases to 3.93 mm/day.
