Conditions at Rosie's Bay in November
November: Storm Season Ramps Up
November deepens the winter pattern at Rosie's Bay. Average swell height leaps to 2.4m (7.9ft) with a 11.7s period, and the energy is now substantial, with many waves in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) class and a notable share above 2.5m (8ft). The direction mix is still excellent: W (20.3%), WSW (18.3%), SW (9.0%), and SSW (4.8%) combine for over 52% of the swell in the optimal window, while the rest is mostly WNW and S. Wind patterns are more variable as storms cycle through. Ideal offshore winds occur 40% of the time, with ESE (17.4%) and SE (13.0%) winds battling E (10.5%) and NE flows. The best sessions come when a high-pressure ridge over the interior sends cold, offshore E/NE winds, grooming the long-period W/WSW swell into clean, powerful lines. Water temperature drops to 9.8°C, air averages 7.2°C, and precipitation is the highest of the year at 10.7mm/day. This is serious cold-water surfing - bring winter-grade rubber and a healthy appetite for Northwest storm surf.
