November: Transition Month with a Reborn Offshore Flow
November marks a shift toward the dry season, and the surf at Ciruelo starts to become cleaner again. The average period is 12.3s and the average height 1.0m (3.2ft). The swell rose is still dominated by SSW at 82.5%, with SW adding 10.3%, so the optimal window remains high - over 94% of the energy is arriving from the surfable southwest quadrant. At the same time, the drier, northerly flow is rebuilding: ideal surfing winds jump to 69%.
Offshore NNW/NW/WNW winds combine for about 36% of the rose, and the strong onshore SW/WSW flow is less dominant than in September-October. Morning and afternoon sessions are both more viable, as the afternoon sea breeze is weaker. Precipitation is still plentiful at 10.90mm/day, and water temperature is a warm 28.1°C. If you are looking for long-period SSW groundswell with steadily improving winds, November is the hinge between summer frustrations and winter reliability.
