November: Golden Windows Before the Storm
November holds on to the excellent wind patterns of October. The ideal wind ratio remains at 75 percent, with SSE (22 percent), SE (16 percent) and S (17 percent) continuing to blow offshore across the NW-facing reef. Average swell height drops a touch to 5ft (1.5m), and the period eases to 13.2s, but this is still rideable, rippable surf. Swell direction is again dominated by SSW (83 percent), with SW (15 percent) providing the rest.
As the month progresses, the northwest monsoon begins to stir. Rain increases to 5.5 mm/day, air temperature climbs to 27.5°C, and water temperature peaks at 29.8°C. The first weeks usually offer sparkling conditions; the final weeks begin to see more cloud and building W/WSW winds. If you can get the first half of the month, you're in for a treat.
