Conditions at Gnaraloo in November
November: The Windy Bridge
November bridges spring and summer uncomfortably. Average swell period drops to 11.8s, wave heights settle around 4-5ft (1.2-1.4m), and ideal wind time is a low 9%. The swell direction still has an SW (53.5%) and SSW (41.7%) flavour, but with shorter intervals it lacks the wrapping power of winter, making the poor directional alignment a bigger problem. Winds are predominantly strong S/SSW-S 30.0%, SSW 34.3%-with a lot of 20-40kph flow, leading to lumpy, windblown conditions. Air temps rise to 25.5°C and water is 23.1°C. November is a grind at Gnaraloo: there are occasional clean 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) sessions, but consistency is not there.
