November: The Shoulder Season Gets Fickle
November brings back the fickle conditions of summer, with ideal wind percentages down to 22% and the average period shortening to 10.7s. The average swell height is still a reasonable 4.2ft (1.3m), and direction is not the issue: W produces 42%, WNW 21%, NW 12%, and NNW 10%. What changes is the quality of the wind. WSW winds dominate at 22%, but there is also a notable W flow (15%) and increasing NE/ENE sea-breeze energy. More importantly, the N/NW quadrant winds that are so damaging to Haast climb back to around 19% of the observations, leaving a lot of bumpy, onshore texture. Water temp has risen to 13.4°C, air temps average 10.4°C, and rainfall stays high at 6.62 mm/day. November rewards early mornings and flexible schedules, but not as consistently as the winter months.
