Conditions at Darigayos in November
November: The Peak Consistency Window
November is the sweet spot of the Darigayos calendar. Average wave height is a robust 4.6ft (1.4m), the period sits at 8.0s, and the ideal-wind percentage peaks at 41% - the highest of any month. Northeasterly and northerly swell directions dominate, with NNE (39%), N (36%) and NNW (10%) making up the bulk of the energy, so the exposure is getting hit by a steady stream of northeast monsoon swell. The light offshore E/ESE/SE flow is more frequent than at any other time of year, giving the surface a cleaner texture despite the cross-shore tendencies of the N/NNE wind. Air temperatures are cooling back to 23.9°C, rainfall has dropped to 3.69 mm/day, and water temperature is still very warm at 28.4°C. Expect raw, punchy waves throughout the day, and if a cold front intensifies over the South China Sea, the swell can quickly jump to 6.5ft (2m) or more.
