November: Winter Trend Kicks In
November is when the winter engine begins to roar. Average swell height jumps back to 1.5m (5ft) and the average period locks in at 10.0s, giving the surf a serious upgrade over October. NE swell is now the dominant driver at 42.4 percent, with NNE at 27.8 percent adding more size, while ENE contributes 16.3 percent. The larger height ranges start filling in again, particularly in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) band, and the Point begins to see more consistent pumping days.
Wind quality is still good, with ideal conditions 72 percent of the time. ENE winds lead at 33.0 percent, NE at 19.7 percent and E at 16.0 percent, so offshore and cross-offshore flows remain common. Water temps cool slightly to 28.4°C, air temps average 27.4°C, and rainfall is 4.26 mm/day. November is the real beginning of the high-season window, and the reward is the first solid groundswell trains of the winter.
