Conditions at Taapuna in November
November: Broadening Swell Angles and Cleaner Skies
November is a true transition month. The average swell height eases to 1.7m (5.5ft) with a 12.5s period, and the directional spread becomes noticeably wider. SE and SSE swells still lead, but S, SSW and even SW/WSW/W percentages begin to grow again. The ideal surfing wind window improves to 35 percent, with E, ENE and ESE winds combining for a high share of the month, often at manageable speeds. This makes for better surface conditions even when the swell is not perfectly angled. Taapuna starts to wake up, especially late in the month when tropical moisture and cyclone-friendly patterns strengthen. Water temperature rises to 27.4°C and rain increases to 3.6mm/day ahead of the wet season.
