November: Power, Period and a Few Gems
November sees the winter swell machine grinding through: average height 2.0m (6-7ft), average period 11.6s - the most powerful of the year. The direction mix favors N 22%, NNE 36% and NNW 25%, and the bulk of the energy sits in the 1.5-2m (5-7ft) and 2-2.5m (7-8ft) classes. Wind is the limiting factor as NE 59%, NNE 24% and ENE 12% dominate; ideal offshore conditions are just 14%. With the ocean holding more period, even a moderate NNE day can have clean-ish lines through the middle of the beach, though the standout sessions come when the wind goes light morning offshore. Air temperature is 25.0°C, water 26.0°C.
