Conditions at La Isla in November
November: Lining Up for Summer
November marks the beginning of the seasonal transition. Average swell height eases to 1.6m (5.2ft) while the period holds at a solid 13.0s. The SSW direction is nearly total at 92%, producing clean, well-ordered lines in the 4-7ft (1.2-2.1m) range, with a smaller but notable share of 6-8ft (1.8-2.5m) waves. It is a slightly more manageable swell after the winter pumping months.
Offshore wind is still absent, sitting at 0%, but the S/SSW/SW flow becomes a touch lighter than midwinter. SSW and SW winds still reach 10-20kph around a quarter of the time, so the surface remains compromised. That said, the swell direction is so well-aligned that even slightly imperfect conditions can produce rippable waves at La Isla.
Air temperatures begin to warm to 13.3-24.0°C, water temperature climbs to 16.1°C, and rain is still negligible. November is the bridge between a tough winter and the more promising summer window.
