November: Late Spring Momentum and Cleaner Windows
Late spring brings a shifting pattern. November averages 8-9ft (2.6m) at 11.0 seconds, and ideal wind rises to 29 percent. SW at 16.5 percent and SSW at 14.8 percent still dominate the swell rose, but S and SE angles become more common, with E at 1.9 percent. Wind is increasingly from the E/ESE quadrant as the South Atlantic high pumps up a summer regime, yet WSW remains at 18.9 percent and W at 15.8 percent, giving plenty of offshore opportunity. Water temperatures climb to 18.5°C, air to 18.6°C, and rain is the wettest of the year at 1.79 mm/day - usually in the form of brief showers. November is a solid transition month with more clean days as the seasonal wind battle tilts toward summer.
