November: The Turning Point Toward Quality

November is when Antiques starts to wake up again from a surf-quality standpoint. The average swell height settles at 4.5ft (1.4m) and the period is a punchy 9.6s-slightly shorter than the summer months, but the trade-off is a big improvement in wind. The percentage of ideal offshore conditions jumps to 41 percent, with WNW and NW winds now appearing regularly alongside the last vestiges of WSW/W flow.

Swell direction becomes more varied, with S, SSE, SSW, SW and WSW all in the mix. The wave-height spectrum is still meaty: 68 percent is in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and 22 percent is 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m), giving Antiques plenty of ridable, shoulder-to-head-high surf. Air temperature is 27.3°C, water is 28.8°C, and rainfall averages 6.26mm/day-still wet, but improving. For traveling surfers, November is a genuine shoulder-season prize: not quite as perfect as peak season, but far better than the windblown months behind it.
