November: Clean, Consistent Autumn Surf
November is where the winter high season clicks into gear. Ideal offshore winds reach 68 percent, the second-highest percentage of the year, and the average period holds at 13.4s. Average wave height averages 0.9m (3ft), but the consistency and cleanliness more than make up for the lack of size. Swell direction comes from W at 37.4 percent, WSW at 25 percent, WNW at 24.6 percent, and SW at 11 percent, giving the spot a mix of direct west and slightly angled northwest energy. About 29 percent of waves reach the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range.
Dry season conditions are settling in: air temperature averages 21.2°C, precipitation is just 0.82mm/day, and water temperature cools to a pleasant 28.5°C. With the morning ENE/E offshore flow becoming more regular, November delivers some of the most user-friendly surf of the year on a relative scale.
