November: Raw Power and Shifting Winds
November turns the corner into full winter mode. Average swell pushes back to 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) at 7.2 seconds, with the E and ENE directions still delivering solid energy. The swell spectrum is more mixed, with S and SSW contributions increasing, but the optimal NNE-NE-ENE-E window still accounts for 23% of the total. Wind patterns become more consistent again: W, WNW and NW directions combine for nearly 35% of the wind rose, giving Sandy Hook frequent offshore and cross-offshore conditions that keep the waves clean and lined up. Water temperatures drop to 12.8°C and air temps average 8.9°C, signaling a return to rubber. November lacks the long-period polish of October, but it makes up for it in raw, punchy power and a serious increase in wave size.
