Conditions at Playa El Toro in November
November: Summer's Last Stand
November starts out close to the summer ideal but slowly transitions toward winter. Ideal offshore wind remains a strong 63%, and SSW/SW swells still dominate - SSW at 82.5% and SW at 10.3%. The average period, however, drops to 12.3s, and N/NNE winds begin to increase late in the month. Wave heights lean slightly smaller: about 51% in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) range and 45% in the 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) range. The eastern-quadrant swell window is still only a tiny part of the spectrum, so the southern swell remains the main engine. Rain is high at 10.90 mm/day, air temps are 26.4°C and water temp is 28.2°C. It is a good month, but you can feel the clean season winding down.
