Conditions at Rincon Point in November
November: The Winter Engine Fires Up
November settles into the classic Rincon winter rhythm. Average swell height pushes back up to 3-4ft (1.0m) and the period is a strong 11.8s. The western quadrant once again dominates - W at 43.2% and WNW at 38.1% - but WSW adds another 12.2%, and the good southern window sits near 4.8%. Wind quality is excellent with ideal offshore conditions at 44%: NNE (6.7%), NNW (6.1%), and NE (4.7%) all become significant players in the wind rose. This makes November one of the most reliable months for clean, powerful point surf, especially when west-NW groundswell wraps into the point.
Weather turns cooler with average air temperature 12.6°C, water temperature 15.5°C, and precipitation rising to 0.78 mm/day. The increased storm frequency is exactly what Rincon wants, and the more frequent offshore flow provides those crisp, groomed conditions.
