November: Full Winter Machine
November is when the North Pacific really flexes. Average swell height rockets to 8.5ft (2.6m) with a 12.0-second period, and the waverose fills with W (20.4%), WNW (19.4%), WSW (7.8%), and a growing SW component (3.4%). Many of those waves are in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) category, and a significant percentage push past 2.5m (8ft). This is full-on heavy, firing surf. Ideal offshore wind still shows up 33% of the time, especially as E and ESE flow develops under high pressure, but S and SSW winds are also common at 14.1% and 11.3% respectively, so you have to pick your windows. Water temp drops to 11.0°C, air averages 7.3°C, and winter rains return with 8.3 mm/day. November is not for the faint of heart, but it is for the surfer looking for power.
