Conditions at Duranbah in November
November: Build-Up Doldrums
November is statistically one of the worst months for surf quality at Duranbah. Favourable wind percentages sink to 28% and periods shorten to 7.3s, as tropical clouds and sea breezes dominate the synoptic picture. Average wave height remains around 3ft (1.0m), with E (25%) and ESE (21%) swells still present, but the NNW wind flow is strong and persistent at 20%. This leaves many sessions bumpy and lower energy. A tropical cyclone or an early-season Tasman low can change the game in a hurry, producing rare cross-offshore conditions and walled-up sandbar waves; otherwise, keep expectations modest. Water temperature sits at 22.6°C, air temps average 22.6°C, and rainfall increases to around 3.1mm/day.
