Conditions at Sun Beach in November
November: The Closest Thing to a Surf Season
November is statistically the best month of the year at Sun Beach. Average swell height reaches 1.5ft (0.5m), and the average period peaks at 4.9 seconds - still sub-5-second windswell, but the most organised energy of the year. The swell rose shows NE 32% and ENE 29%, but also a solid NNE component at 15% and NNW at 10%. Combined with N/NW energy, favourable northwesterly swell is present around 17% of the time, and some of those pulses make it into the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) category.
Winds remain the great obstacle. ENE and E blow 28% and 23% of the time respectively, with NE adding another 14%. Offshore S/SW/SSW/WSW flow is down near 3%, and the data still reports zero ideal windows. With air temps at 25°C (77°F), water at 26°C (79°F), and lower rainfall of about 1.03 mm/day, it remains comfortable. If you can catch a day when a departing cold front leaves a light southwest wind and a fresh NNW swell, November offers the best chance of a genuinely fun session at Sun Beach.
