Conditions at Yzerfontein in November
November: Onshore Winds, Still Plenty of Swell
November solidifies the summer wind regime. Average swell is still a healthy 7ft (2.2m) with an 11.4s period, and the SW (28%) and SSW (22%) sectors continue to pump. Yet ideal wind falls to 10% as S (34%), SSE (16%) and SSW (14%) dominate the wind rose. The N/NE offshore flow is nearly absent, and the period, while still solid, shortens slightly from winter. Water temp climbs to 15.4°C and air to 17.5°C, with only 0.89mm/day of rain. Surfable waves are on offer, but you will need to work the early mornings and be patient for the rare clean day.
