November: Power Begins to Fade, Quality Holds
November marks the start of the easing trend. Average swell height drops to around 5.6ft (1.7m), and the period shortens to 13.7 seconds, still long period but with a little less oomph than earlier months. The direction remains firmly SSW at 81% of the total, with SW at 16% and WSW nearly absent. The height distribution still peaks in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range at 61%, but the 6-8ft (2-2.5m) contributions drop to 15%. There are still plenty of powerful waves, just not as many heavy, maxed-out sets.
Winds remain friendly. Ideal offshore flow occurs 70% of the time, led by SSW at 30%, SW at 27% and WSW at 20%. The N/NW onshore components are negligible. Rain stays low at 0.10 mm/day, and both air and water temperatures are on the rise, with air at 21.6°C and water at 21.1°C. November is a transitional month that still delivers excellent, clean surf, ideal for those who prefer solid waves without the intensity of full winter.
