Conditions at Playa Linda in November
November: Winter's First Calling Card
November marks the start of the northern hemisphere winter tracking season, and with it the chance for Playa Linda to see the first true NW/WSW pulses of the year. Average size eases to 4ft (1.2m) and the period remains sturdy at 13.3s. The swell distribution is still SSW-heavy at 78.2%, but SW now accounts for 16.8%, with a trace of WSW (1.4%). The presence of that west in the low-frequency energy can turn a normal day into a very good one. Wind quality stays respectable with ideal offshore flow 41% of the time, while rainfall falls quickly to just 0.88mm/day, signalling a return to the dry season. Air temps average 28.1°C, water 29.5°C, so the water is still warm during the transition. If a mid-latitude low brings a SW groundswell, this is an underrated month for quality surf.
