November: Winter Windswell Takes Hold
November is a transition out of fall quality into winter consistency. Average height rises to around 2.3ft (0.7m), but the period shortens to 6.5s. The waverose becomes a tug-of-war between NW/NNW/WNW windswell and the last of the S/SE groundswell; S 8.9%, SSE 9.0%, SE 9.1%, and SSW 6.6% still add up to about a third of all swell energy. Wind patterns are favorable overall, with N/NNE/NW/NNW accounting for roughly 31% of observations, giving the beach repeated offshore windows. The problem is the short period: most waves are windswell, so they break fat and quick unless a distant low pumps in a proper 10s+ south pulse. Surf will remain in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) range on most good days, and the water has cooled to 12.3°C (54°F).
