November: The Dry Season Reboot
November marks a significant wind shift as the Northeast trades re-establish themselves. Ideal wind frequency jumps back to 51%, and although swell eases to 1.3m (4ft) at 12.5s, the directional profile is still proper: SSW 85.7% and SW 12.3%. Rain drops to 5.67mm/day, water is 28.0°C and air temps remain warm at 26.9°C. The beach starts to show those clean, groomed lines again, especially by the second half of the month. Expect long-period SSW swell mixed with increasingly clean offshore mornings - an ideal setup for those chasing quality over pure size.
