Conditions at 8th Street Jetty in November
November: Winter's First Roar
November is all about consistency. Average swell height holds at 4.3ft (1.3m), period sits at 7.2s, and ideal wind arrives 38% of the time. The swell spectrum is still a mix of E/ESE/SE, but S (9.9%), SSW (7.5%) and SSE (8.4%) swell also take up a large part of the pie, meaning the Jetty only sees a portion of the available energy. Wind-wise, the winter engine starts pumping: W (11.0%), WNW (12.6%) and NW (11.3%) dominate, bringing cold, dry air behind each front. Air temps fall to 10.3°C, water temps drop to 13.3°C, and precipitation averages 3.22mm/day. The combination of offshore NW wind and E/ESE swell is the killer scenario for the Jetty - usually in the 24-48 hours after a cold front swings through. It's not the epic season peak yet, but it's building quickly.
