November: Easing Into Summer
November marks a clear easing of the winter swell engine. Average wave height drops to 4-5ft (1.3m), the period settles at 13.0s, and the energy is dominated by SSW at an extraordinary 95.3 percent - the highest directional concentration of the year. The good news is that the swell is still very rideable: 70.5 percent of waves fall in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with 23.3 percent in the 5-6ft (1.5-2m) range. Winds remain the same story, as 81.1 percent blow from due S and another 13.6 percent from SSW; speeds are mostly 10-20kph. Water temperature begins its climb to 17.3°C, air temperature averages 17.7°C, and rain stays minimal at 0.06mm per day. November is a month of consistent, less threatening SSW swell - fine for logging longer rides when the morning breeze is not too strong.
