Conditions at Wilderness in November
November: The Fickle Shoulder
November is a low-expectation month for Wilderness. ESE flow is the dominant wind at 16.4%, E adds 10.8%, SE 9.3%, and the offshore N/NNW/NNE/NW group accounts for only about 6%. The wave data remain flat in the monthly average, so micro to flat conditions are the baseline. Water temperature climbs to 18.1°C, air averages 18.1°C, and precipitation rises to 1.74 mm/day, partly due to late spring thunderstorms. The good news is that the ocean is warm and the days are long; the bad news is that rideable waves are scarce. Patience and a longboard are your friends.
