November: Punchy Little Trades, Better Winds
November is a transition hero. The average wave height is 0.5m (1.5ft), with 25.9% of the SSW swell in the 0.5-1m range and 0.6% in the 1-1.5m class. The period drops to 9.9s, giving the waves a shorter, punchier rhythm that suits this small beach break. More importantly, the wind regime begins to flip back toward the dry-season offshore pattern: NW jumps to 33.0%, NNW sits at 18.0%, and WNW adds 14.0%. S and SSW onshore winds are reduced to a much smaller role. Water temperature is still warm at 28.4°C, rain remains high at 7.93mm/day, and ideal surf is 15%. If you can find a window between the tropical showers, November often serves up clean, waist-high waves.
