Conditions at Stoney Beach in November

November: Directional Swells Return

November is the last truly spring month, and it often goes out with a bang. Average height is 1.1m, period 9.0s, and ideal wind drops back to 24%. The swell spectrum tilts strongly back to the east and north-east: ENE reclaims 19.2%, NE 8.2%, and NNE/N add another 5.2%, giving the preferred quadrant a healthy 32.6% share. The fly in the ointment is NE wind, which jumps back to 15.2% as the subtropical high starts to strengthen. Still, SSW 10.5% and SW 5.4% ensure that post-frontal windows exist. Sea temp rises to 13.8°C, air averages 12.6°C, rain 1.59mm/day. Look for a fast-moving low in the Tasman Sea to produce a NNE/NE swell followed by a sharp SW change-that combination is prime Stoney.
