November: Swell Backs Off, Wind Lingers
Swell energy begins to fade in November, with the average dropping to 1.6m (5.2ft). Periods hold at a respectable 13.0s, but the distribution skews heavily toward 1-2m (3-6.5ft) surf, with less of the heavy 2m+ (6.5ft+) juice that defined winter. SSW dominates to an extreme degree at 91.5%, meaning Santa Rosa is almost entirely reliant on angled south-southwest groundswell. The wind story remains stubborn: S/SSW flow accounts for nearly 92% of observations and ideal offshore wind stays at 0%. Water temperature rebounds slightly to 16.1C and air temps rise to 17.9C. Expect a lot of lumpy, manageable surf with the occasional long-period set worth waiting for.
