Conditions at New Pier in November
November: Pre-Summer Inconsistency
November is a mix of leftover spring juice and early summer nuisance. The average swell is 1.7m, but the period has fallen to 8.9s, making conditions choppy and wind-driven at times. S (17.9%) and SSE (17.8%) are on top, while E (15.9%) and SE (15.3%) keep the east swell angle alive; ENE (14.0%) works well on the pier when the wind cooperates.
Only 29% of the wind is ideal. NE (17.7%) and ENE (12.9%) are back in force, SSW (16.8%) and S (12.0%) add texture, and the offshore NW-WNW flow is mostly absent. You'll need a strong frontal passage or a dawn patrol before seabreeze to find clean waves.
Air temp averages 22.0°C, water 23.0°C, and rainfall jumps to 3.81mm/day - a sign of the approaching summer convective cycle.
