Conditions at Badoc Point in November
November: Stronger but Narrower Window
November is a size month, but the direction narrows. Average swell height climbs to 6ft (1.9m) and the average period is 7.8s, one of the biggest combinations of the year. Almost all of that energy is coming from NNE (44.4%) and NE (25.2%), with the favorable W/NW/NNW window dropping to around 3%. This is the classic northeast monsoon pattern: plenty of ocean, but not the right ocean for a WNW-facing point.
The wind pattern is dominated by NE (41.4%) and ENE (22.1%) at moderate to strong speeds, with ideal wind at 53%. Rain is down to 3.84mm/day and water temperature is 27.5 degrees Celsius, so the atmosphere is improving. For Badoc, November is about patience. If a cold front or low-pressure system over the South China Sea swings the swell angle into the NNW/NW quarter, the spot can suddenly show 5-7ft (1.5-2.2m) potential in clean offshore conditions. Those windows are small; the rest of the time the surf is big, windswept, and wrong-angled.
