November: The Trade Wind Transition
November marks a shift back toward the drier, more trade-dominated pattern. The average period loosens to 13.2s, and the average swell height remains around 1ft (0.3m). The south window is still dominant, with SSW at 76.9%, S at 8.9%, SSE at 0.6% and SW at 7.9%, but the northeast trade signal is rebuilding, with NE at 8.7% and NNE at 9.5%. The onshore S/SSE/SSW/SW wind component drops to 19.4%, the lowest in several months, and rainfall eases to 4.06mm/day. Air temperatures average 26.5°C, and water temperature sits at 27.9°C. The surf is still micro, with nearly all observations falling below 1.6ft (0.5m), and the ideal-wind percentage remains 0%. November is a month of transition: better beach weather and cleaner-looking skies, but no real increase in rideable wave height.
