Conditions at Maraa in November

November: Trade Swell Takeover

November marks a noticeable gear change. Average swell height eases to 6ft (1.8m) and the average period drops to 11.7 seconds. More importantly, the directional mix tilts toward SSE at 28.2 percent, SE at 20.5 percent and S at 24.9 percent, with SSW sliding to 12 percent. That means Maraa receives more cross-oriented swell and fewer of the true S and SSW groundswells that make this southwest-facing reef fire at full potential.

Winds are improving in consistency, with E at 24 percent and ENE at 12 percent, giving an ideal 35 percent. This can still produce fun, rippable conditions, but the waves are generally less powerful and more affected by the southeast trade-swell background. Water temp 27.4°C, air 26.2°C, rainfall 3.6 mm/day. Expect a lighter lineup and rideable surf, just without the hollow winter juice.
