November: Sizing Down, Winds Shift Onshore

November is a month of faded glory for Blaketown Wedge. The average swell slides down to 1.8m (6ft) and the period shortens to 11.3s - still rideable, but lacking the raw winter punch. The Wedge's exposure is well served by WSW/W swells, and the wave height distribution is top-heavy with 1-2m (3.5-6.5ft) surf. The real issue is wind: W and WSW blow 33 percent combined, and onshore NW/NNW winds add another 22 percent, leaving the ideal offshore percentage at a lowly 31 percent. The result is a genuinely inconsistent month, with the occasional dawn patrol on a light ESE breeze being your best bet. If you're chasing quality over quantity, November is a pick-the-day month rather than a must-chase window.
