Conditions at The Wedge in November
November: Prime Time With Southwest Energy and Offshore Wind
November is one of the most reliable months at The Wedge. The average wave height is 2-3ft (0.8m) with a 12.8s period, and the swell direction is beautifully balanced: WSW (36.4%), W (26.4%), SW (26.2%), and SSW (9.4%). That means the wave is getting a strong dose of the SW energy it loves, plus enough long-period W/WSW groundswell to wrap down the coast and hit the jetty from multiple angles. Ideal wind jumps to 41%, and the return of N/NNE/NE and NNW breezes creates frequent glassy, offshore windows. Air temperature cools to 17.1°C, water temperature is 16.4°C, and precipitation averages 0.77mm/day. With the North Pacific storm track becoming more active and the summer onshore flow fading, November consistently delivers the best combination of swell direction and surface conditions all year.
