Conditions at Boca Damas in November
November: Swell Fades and Onshore Winds Crowd the Lineup
November is the most inconsistent month at Boca Damas, and timing becomes everything. Average swell height drops to 1.2m (3.9ft), average period to 12.4s, and while the direction remains favorable - SSW 91.6%, SW 6.8% - the energy is less organized. Around 76% of waves are 3-5ft (1-1.5m), but 14% have slipped back into the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range, and only about 10% reach the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class. The bigger issue is wind: ideal offshore flow is at its annual minimum of 16%, with S/SSW/SW/WSW flow dominant for half the month and some 10-20kph pulses creating bumpy surfaces. Rain remains substantial at 6.37 mm/day, water is 27.8°C and air is 25.2°C. November rewards flexible surfers who can drop everything for an offshore morning.
