November: Winter Winds Return
November is where the fair season fades. The average period drops to 11.5s, and the ideal wind percentage falls to 36 percent, among the lowest of the year. Swell is now a mix of NNE (22.5 percent), NE (13.0 percent), S (26.9 percent) and SSW (18.1 percent), producing average heights of about 4.9ft (1.5m). The northern energy is more prominent and the average period shorter, so the surf becomes punchier and less groomed.
Wind is the main issue. N and NNE winds combine for over 44 percent of the observations, often in the 10-30kph range, which puts a lot of chop on the face. The offshore SW-WNW window is limited, and fewer clean waves make it through. Water temperature is still warm at 27.8°C, air temperatures average 23.7°C, and precipitation remains low at 0.55mm/day. November is best for keen surfers who are willing to pick through wind-affected conditions.
