Conditions at Avalanche in November
November: The Tide Turns Toward Summer
November offers a visible change. Ideal offshore wind jumps back to 25 percent, average swell settles to 6.9ft (2.1m) and the period eases to 10.8s. The southerly quadrant still dominates: SSW at 25.5%, SW at 17.7% and S at 12.8%. Wind distribution improves for surfers-WSW is again the leading direction at 17.9%, SW adds 12.5%, and the onshore E/ENE combination drops to 25.8%. There will still be plenty of rough days, but the balance is shifting. Water temperature climbs to 18.8°C and air averages 19.2°C. With the storm track retreating south, the swells become less thumping and more manageable, making November one of the most underrated months to score a clean Avalanche peak.
