November: Winter Swell Begins to Appear, Wind Still a Work in Progress
November marks a true turning point. The average swell height is 0.9m (3ft), but the average period holds at 13.4s, and the direction mix is much healthier: W is 31.4%, WSW 33.9%, SW 19.1%, WNW 13.1%, NW 0.8% and NNW 0.1%. That puts favourable W/WNW/NW/NNW energy at around 45% of the total - the best since March. While heights remain modest, mostly in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft) classes, the appearance of solid W and WNW lines means the beach starts to show real shape again. Wind is still a limiting factor: ideal offshore flow is only 20%, with NNW (34.6%), NNE (16.7%), N (14.7%) and NW (9.6%) dominating. Still, the stronger and more frequent winter groundswells can overcome a little chop. With air temps cooling to 26.7°C, water at 28.5°C, and only 1.13 mm/day of rain, November is a promising shoulder month for chasing a clean one.
