Conditions at Shipwreck Bay in November
November: The Good Window Reopens
November is a transition into the prime surf season. Ideal offshore wind jumps to 25 percent, while average swell height settles down to 6ft (1.9m) on a 12.0s period. The wind rose is dominated by S (12.0 percent) and SSW (13.0 percent), with strong secondary support from SW (10.4 percent)-a great setup for keeping the bay clean. Swell energy remains SW (44.3 percent) and WSW (14.7 percent), yet the mix of spring lows and strengthening highs increases the odds of a north-quadrant pulse. Rain is moderate at 2.45mm/day, water temp warms to 17.5°C, and the surfing becomes more playful again. November is the month to start checking the forecast obsessively: the storms are still producing, but the wind is finally on your side.
