November: Transitional Swell and the First Lighter Breezes

Height distribution is more evenly spread between 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m), with a smattering of 7-8ft (2-2.5m) sets.
Wind remains stubbornly onshore. S and SSW make up 91.7 percent of the wind, though the light-to-moderate balance starts to improve: the 0-10kph category doubles to near 16 percent compared with winter. Still, ideal offshore flow is 0 percent, and water temp warms slightly to 16.1°C while air temps nudge to 17.9°C.
