Conditions at Blue Bowls in November
November: Clean Westerlies and Fading South Swell
November sees the southwest monsoon losing its grip. Average swell height drops to 1.3m (4ft) and the period falls back to 10.2s, so the surf loses some of its heavy, long-period punch. The swell direction is still mostly south-based - S (25%), SSW (21%), SW (17%) and WSW (12%) - but the angle is increasingly west of south, making it trickier for the ESE-facing reef to catch the energy cleanly. The wind remains very favourable, though: W (26%), WNW (22%), WSW (16%) and NW (10%) combine for excellent offshore flow, and ideal conditions run at 46%. The result is a month of groomed but less powerful waves, with clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf on offer and the occasional SSE groundswell still worth getting out of bed for. Rain totals 6.04 mm/day, and water temp is a warm 28.9°C.
