Conditions at Los Frailes in November
November: Offshore Season Sweet Spot
November is the month the waiting pays off. Ideal wind time peaks at 74 percent as strong high pressure and cold fronts across the southwestern U.S. drive a consistent N/NW offshore regime down the Baja Peninsula. The swell window may shrink compared to summer - S/SSE/SE/ESE total around 59 percent - but the 11.5s average period and light-wind days make the most of every 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) wave. Water temperatures cool to 27.3°C, air temps settle at 25.0°C, and precipitation stays light. It will not be as big as a September tropical swell, but the odds of scoring clean, rippable, glassy peaks are arguably the best of the entire year.
