November: Offshore Wind Odds With Smaller Swell

November offers a surprisingly clean wind regime even as the swell energy fades. The ideal-wind score is 49 per cent, driven by WNW (16.4 per cent), W (16.4 per cent), NW (9.6 per cent) and NNW (7.7 per cent). The swell itself is caught between seasons: SE (15.9 per cent), SSE (13.9 per cent), WSW (10.5 per cent), E (10.0 per cent), ESE (9.9 per cent) and S (9.2 per cent) are all in the mix. Average height drops to 3ft (0.9m) and the period to 7.4s, so there is less power in the water. Water temperature stays at 29.0°C, air at 27.3°C, and November is on the wetter side with 6.87mm/day of rain. When an east pulse arrives under a WNW offshore flow, the reef still produces fun little waves, but you will need to work for the best ones.
