November: The Rebuild Begins
As the wet season starts to ease, November sees the trade winds reassert their influence. NE winds return to 21.3% and NNE to 14.8%, pushing ideal offshore wind down to 28%. Yet the average swell height rebounds to 1.1m (3.5ft) with a 7.3s period. The swell direction is more variable this month - NE drops to 68.4%, while NNE (15.1%) and NNW (6.4%) become important secondary components. This can lead to more inconsistent periods and occasional crossed-up lines. Still, the windows of clean surf remain frequent enough, especially when a strong cold front or tropical low swings winds from the SW. Water temp cools slightly to 28.8°C, rainfall is still significant at 8.27 mm/day. November is a hopeful transition month - winter swell is just around the corner.
