November: The First Signs of the Dry-Season Turn
November is a transition month. The average swell height eases to 0.9m (3ft) and the period shortens slightly to 11.9s, but it still sits in the powerful long-period range. Swell direction remains favorable - 70% SSW and 29% SW - with around 29% of waves in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) category. Rain is still heavy at 8.92mm/day and ideal wind only reaches 12%, with W (33%), WNW (20%) and WSW (19%) winds still dominating much of the month. However, as high pressure builds and the dry season approaches, offshore N/NE breezes begin to reappear more often near the end of the month. Air temperatures stay warm at 26.1°C and water temperature cools to 27.8°C. November offers occasional diamonds among the rough.
