Conditions at San Blas in November
November: The Dry Season Sets In
November marks the transition back to clean, reliable offshore flow. The average swell eases to 4ft (1.2m) and the period settles to 12.7s, but the quality control improves dramatically. Ideal surf wind jumps to 62%, with the offshore quadrant back up to 43.1%. NNE is the star again at 24.2%, giving the SSW-exposed beach clean, glassy surfaces for the morning session.
There is still real energy in the water: SSW supplies 80.2% of the swell, with 58.3% in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and 4.8% at 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m). S and SW add another 16.5%. Rain drops sharply to 1.45mm/day, air temps average 26.1°C and water temps are 29.1°C. This is that magical dry-season shoulder where you can still find sizeable SSW groundswell, but the wind is more often offshore in the morning and only turning onshore late in the afternoon.
