Conditions at Curl Curl in November
November: Summer Slop Creeps In
November is the unofficial start of the Low Surf Season at Curl Curl. The swell average holds at around 5ft (1.6m), but the period shortens to 8.3s, bringing shorter-period, more wind-driven energy, and ideal wind drops to 25%. Directionally, SSE (18.3%), ENE (14.9%), SE (14.3%), E (12.7%), ESE (12.1%) and NE (8.9%) fill the waverose, with plenty of 3-6ft (1-2m) surf to go around. The problem is the wind: NE (13.8%), NNE (11.1%), SSE (10.4%), S (10.1%) and ENE (9.2%) create a persistent onshore and cross-shore regime. Water temperature rises to 20.2C, air averages 19.6C, and rainfall averages 2.75mm/day. Choppy, lumpy conditions are common, but there are still dawn windows and occasional E/SE swells from developing coastal lows that can turn the sandbar on during November.
