Conditions at Belongas Bay in November
November: New Life as Offshore Flow Returns
November is the turning point. The average swell eases to around 5ft (1.5m) at 13.2 seconds, but the direction is perfect, with SSW and SW combining for 98% of the wave energy. Ideal wind jumps to 10% - not high, but a big improvement from the 1-2% of recent months. The persistent southeast trades are breaking down; wind directions become more variable and lighter, with SSE, SE and S still just over half of the observations but losing their bite. This transition opens up increasingly clean, long-period reef waves at Belongas, and the bay starts to come alive again. Air temps are 27.8°C, water temp climbs to 29.4°C, and rainfall returns at 5.67mm/day.
