Conditions at Boulevard in November
November: Size Returns, Quality Slips
November marks the re-establishment of the northeast monsoon. Average swell height jumps to around 5ft (1.5m) with a 9.9s period, and the waverose is again dominated by ENE (57%) and NE (35%) swell. The heavier 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) waves are definitely pumping, but the wind histogram shifts hard back to onshore: NE (25%) and ENE (25%) combine with NNE (12%) to produce considerable chop. Ideal wind drops to just 14%. The result is an inconsistent month - moments of serious size with workable conditions, sandwiched between long stretches of windblown, lumpy surf. Watch for passing frontal boundaries or tropical disturbances that can briefly flip the wind offshore. Air temp averages 27.8°C, rainfall is 11.71mm/day, and water temperature cools slightly to 28.5°C.
