Conditions at Shonan in November

November: Winter Offshore Highs, Mixed Southern Swell

November sees the winter machine take control. NNE winds dominate at 29.7%, with NE (15.3%), N (10.2%) and NNW (6.0%) also in the mix; ideal-wind readings sit at 19%, making the surface consistently cleaner than summer. The average wave height is 2.3ft (0.7m) at 8.3s, still modest, but the swell rose becomes more mixed: SE (14.2%), ESE (13.0%), SW (12.3%), SSW (10.6%), S (9.3%) and SSE (9.6%) all contribute. There are plenty of rideable, punchy waves, though the SSW/S/SSE/SE pulses are the ones that really work on Shonan's banks; the more easterly ESE/ENE directions are less favorable. Air temperatures drop to 10.4C, water to 20.6C, and precipitation falls to 3.07mm/day as the winter dry season begins. Expect crisp, cold, clean conditions with waist-to-chest-high sets.
