Conditions at Motunau Beach Island in November
November: Late Spring Lull
November signals the return to summer's smaller surf. Average swell height drops to 1.1m (3-4ft), period falls to 9.6s, and ideal wind frequency drops to 36 percent. E is the clear dominant swell at 17.8 percent, with SSE at 12.9 percent and S at 11.8 percent still hanging on as the last Southern Ocean pulses fade. The wind regime is increasingly split between morning NW offshore flow and afternoon NE sea breezes, so the early sessions are usually the only clean ones. Water temperature rises to 13.6°C, making a 4/3 or 3/2 wetsuit workable and bringing more summer traffic to the water.
