Conditions at Domes in November
November: Size is Back, Pre-Winter Power
November marks a clear step up. Average swell height jumps to 1.5m (5ft) with a 10.0s period. The dominant direction is NE (42.4%) and NNE (27.8%), while NNW supplies 2.1%. Ideal wind is 70% - the trades become a bit less reliable as winter weather patterns start to wrestle for control. Still, you get more days with clean, offshore forces from the E.
Air temp drops to 27.4°C, water to 28.4°C, and precipitation remains high at 4.26 mm/day. This is a good pre-winter month: size is back, the west swell hasn't really arrived, but when the E/SSE winds set up, Domes can be fun and hollow.
