Conditions at Gunnamatta in November
November: Summer-Like Swell with SSW Back in the Mix
November is the transition month back toward summer. Average swell height settles to around 4-5ft (1.4m), and the wave period eases to 11.6s. SSW energy increases again to 18.8%, SW remains the dominant swell direction at 52.8%, and WSW drops to 9.5%. This setup gives the coast a slightly more southwesterly swell than midwinter, which suits the exposure well, though the average power is lower than the long-period westerly swells of August and September.
Wind patterns also begin to look more like summer: SSW is the leading wind at 12.3%, followed by SW at 11.2% and S at 9.6%. Ideal offshore wind is at 16%, so it is still a case of hunting the dawn windows with N/NE/E flow before the sea breeze takes over. Water temperature climbs to 16.1°C, air averages 15.1°C, and precipitation remains fairly high at 2.34mm/day. Expect punchy, fun-sized SW groundswell with occasional bigger pulses.
