Conditions at Gaukendi Bridge in November
November: The West Swell Window
November is the most interesting month for Gaukendi Bridge from a pure swell-direction standpoint. A massive 54% of the average swell comes from the optimal SSW, SW, WSW, and W quadrants, with wave heights ranging from 3-6ft (1-1.8m) and some 8ft (2.4m) bombs from the WSW and SW directions. The average swell height is 1.4m (4-5ft) with a period of 10.0s, providing plenty of push. Unfortunately, the wind patterns remain stuck in the waning southwest monsoon: ideal offshore wind is only 12%, and the wind roses show a dominant westerly flow - W (25%), WNW (23%), and WSW (17%). This makes the surf heavily wind-blown most days, but the swell quality underneath is dramatically better than the dead-south months of summer. Water temp is 28.8°C, air temps at 27.3°C, and rainfall is 5.81 mm/day. November is a real 'watch and pounce' month: when a passing high-pressure ridge swings the wind into the NE for even a day, the reef at Gaukendi Bridge can absolutely go off.
