November: Trades Strike Back
November marks the great transition back to dry-season quality. The NE trades return with a vengeance - NE provides 31.2% and ENE 18.3% of the wind - and the ideal-wind percentage jumps to 74%, setting the stage for the next six months of excellent conditions. The swell still carries a strong South Pacific signature, with SSW at 64.7% and SW at 18.4%, while periods average 12.5s and waves come in around 1.3m (4.3ft), with occasional 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) sets. Rain drops to 4.10mm/day, air temps are a pleasant 26.3°C, and the water is 27.7°C.
