November: Winds of Change
November is when Careneros starts to wake back up. The average swell height climbs to 1.0m (3ft), the period recovers to 7.4s, and ideal wind jumps to 56 percent. The swell direction becomes more diverse, with NNE jumping to 20.1 percent and N/NNW sources adding another 11.9 percent; this is the first sign of winter cold fronts and stronger trade surges reaching the Caribbean. The NE quadrant still contributes 66.6 percent, but the increased north in the swell angle is a welcome change for the NE-facing beach. Rain is still heavy at 10.15mm/day and water temperature is 28.5°C, yet the WNW/NW wind regime is back in force, grooming the swell into cleaner, more organized lines. November is a transition month, but the trend is clearly upward.
