November: Strong Winds, Summer Pulse
November locks in the summer pattern. SE winds (24%) and SSE winds (20%) dominate, and the ideal surf window drops to 9%, equal to the mid-summer minimum. The swell average is still respectable at 7.9ft (2.4m) with an 11.3 second period, and SSW (16%) plus SW (23%) provide most of the energy. This is a Cape Doctor month; the ocean can be crossed by wind swell and blown out by afternoon, but in the early morning, before the high-pressure gradient tightens, there are real waves. Air temperatures average 17.4°C, water has warmed to 17.0°C, and rainfall stays around 0.89 mm/day. It is not the tidy autumn, but for surfers who like powerful swells with offshore wind, November still delivers.
