Conditions at Mahe in November
November: Northeast Monsoon Calm and Tiny Lines
November is the low season. Average swell height drops to 1ft (0.3m) even though the average period is a deceivingly long 10.7s. Direction is still favourable-SW (48.6%), SSW (27.8%) and WSW (15.2%)-but nearly everything is under 1.5ft (0.5m). Only about 3% of waves reach the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range. The wind regime flips to the northeast monsoon, with NE (11.5%), ENE (11.0%), NNE (9.9%) and E (6.8%) combining for frequent light offshore flow. The problem is a complete lack of swell, and the ideal wind percentage is just 1%. Rain drops to 3.92 mm/day, air temperature is 26.0°C and water temperature remains warm at 29.5°C. Great for relaxing, not so great for surfing.
