Conditions at Broken Head in November
November: Pre-Summer NE Pulse
November is caught between the fading winter swell machine and the approaching summer trade wind regime. Average wave height remains 5ft (1.5m) but the period drops to 8.2s, the shortest of the year. The NE, ENE, E and ESE quadrant again supplies over half of the wave energy, which is great for direction; unfortunately, onshore NE and NNE winds are also frequent, leaving only 31% ideal offshore windows. Air and water temperatures both settle around 22.3°C and rainfall increases to 3.20mm/day. With the right wind and tide, the east-facing bank can offer rippable 3-5ft waves, though you may have to dodge afternoon storm squalls and building sea breeze.
