November: Trade Winds and Short-Period Energy

November is when spring gives way to summer, and surf quality at Golf Course Reef takes a step back. Average height drops to 5-6ft (1.7m), period falls to 7.9s, and ideal wind decreases to 30%. The favorable E/NE swell quadrant is very active - NE, ENE, E and ESE total 45% of the wave energy - but onshore NE/ENE wind flow has returned strongly. Combined with more N/NNE breeze, the average session is often wind-affected and short-period.

Air temps climb to 18.2°C and water to 18.6°C. Rainfall is 2.95 mm/day. There are still good days when a W/SW change cuts through, but November requires patience and a sharp eye on the wind map.
