Conditions at Bogan River in November
November: Improving, But Still Fickle
November begins the slow slide into summer, with the average swell height easing to 1.7m (5-6ft) and the period shortening to 12.1s. The swell direction remains very favourable-85% from the SW-WNW window-and the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-7ft (1.5-2m) ranges split almost evenly. There is still plenty of power, but the ocean is starting to slim down.
The wind pattern, however, is still stuck in spring mode: offshore flow only 15% of the time, onshore SW/W winds almost 49%. That leaves a frustrating mix of good swell and bad conditions. But the improving trend is real: water temps rise to 17.3°C, air temps to 15.8°C, and rain is reduced to 2.37mm/day. As high pressure becomes more frequent, late-November NE offshore days can surprise you with punchy, clean waves.
