November: The Wind Shuts the Door
November is the low point for surf quality, not because the swell disappears but because the wind refuses to cooperate. The average swell still pumps at around 6ft (1.7m) with a 12.9-second period, and 78.6% of it comes from the SW with another 18% from WSW-perfect groundswell numbers on paper. In practice, ideal offshore winds drop to 0%, and SSW/SW/WSW onshore flow holds for most of the month. Wave heights remain solid in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range, but the faces are usually bumpy and rolled out.
Air temps average 17.6°C, water temps recover to 13.2°C, and precipitation is negligible. November is a month for watching the buoys and hoping for a freak high-pressure wind event.
