November: Winter Size Returns to the Forecast
November brings the first sustained size of the winter season. Average swell height climbs to 5ft (1.5m) and the average period reaches 9.1s, the co-equal high point of the year. The direction distribution shows NE at 38.5%, ENE at 30.3%, and NNE at 19.6%, with N and NNW contributing another 4.8%. This is a much stronger and more consistent mix than October, and the longer period means more push and power when the swell arrives.
The fly in the ointment remains the wind. E is still 32.1%, ENE 23.8%, and ESE 16.8%, and the ideal offshore wind window sits at 10 percent. The good news is that many of the larger winter swells arrive behind cold fronts, which can briefly flip winds toward the offshore SW/W quadrant. Those are the sessions La Pared is known for. Water temperature cools slightly to 28.3°C, air averages 26.9°C, and rain increases to 5.39mm/day.
