Conditions at Ponce Inlet in November
November: Peak Swell, Chase the Light
November delivers the biggest average swell of the year, at 1.4m (4.6ft), with a period of 8.4s. The E sector leads the charge at 23.1%, closely followed by ENE at 22.5% and NE at 18.1%. Altogether, the favourable NE through E quadrant supplies nearly three-quarters of all wave energy. The jet stream is now fully engaged, and nor'easters are a weekly occurrence, sending powerful groundswell into the Central Florida coastline.
The wind, though, is a limiting factor. Ideal flow is present just 29% of the time, with a tendency towards NNE-ENE onshore winds. But as the month progresses, cold fronts become more frequent, and the post-frontal W/SW offshores arrive more reliably. Water temperature cools to 23.4°C (74.1°F), and air averages 22.3°C (72.1°F) with the lowest rainfall of the year at 1.93mm/day. November is a month for surf forecast hounds - pick the windows, ignore the rest.
