Conditions at Red Tree Reef in November
November: Winter Storm Season Returns
November is a full-on winter month. The average swell height is a strong 9ft (2.7-2.8m) and the period stretches to 11.0s, so Red Tree Reef is back to handling powerful, long-period groundswell. WSW (12.6%) and SW (11.5%) are again the leading directions, with SSW (7.7%) and W (4.3%) providing additional energy. There are frequent waves in the 6-8ft (2-2.5m) class and a growing number of 8ft+ (2.5m+) days, so the reef's outer bowls start to work at full tilt.
Wind remains the deciding factor, with 25% ideal conditions. ESE and SE winds are the most common directions, and they can either be clean offshore flow or storm-juiced and messy depending on the synoptic setup. Water temp cools to 8.3°C (47°F), air temps average just 4.5°C (40°F), and precipitation is high at 9.12 mm/day. November offers a superb mix of size and wind windows-often the first true overhead sessions of the season.
