November: Clean Wind Returns and the Winter Lineup Locks In
November marks the true return of quality at The Ranch. Average surf height settles at a very manageable 4ft (1.3m), but the 13.4-second period keeps the waves powerful and organized. The swell direction is right in the pocket: SSW provides 62.3 percent and SW another 28.2 percent, with the largest energy concentration in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class and about 12 percent of waves going overhead in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range.
This is where the wind window reopens. Ideal surf conditions jump to 50 percent, the N/NE offshore flow accounts for 38 percent, and onshore S/SW drops back to 39 percent. With the dry season resuming, rainfall collapses to 0.73mm/day, air temp is 25.9°C, and water temp remains tropical at 29.4°C. November is a classic fall/winter transition month - cleaner, glassier, and far more predictable - making it one of the best bets of the year for The Ranch.
