November: The Summer Wind Returns
November is where Middleton starts paying for its winter splendor. The swell is still present - average 1.4m (4.6ft) at 11.4s - but the period has slid by a full second compared with August, giving the waves a shorter, more closed-out feel. Directionally, SSW regains control at 52.6%, with SW (29.5%) and S (12.1%) filling in the rest; the energy is still there but arranged in less favorable, more southerly-tending bands. The 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class from SSW holds 26.6%, and the 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) class still maintains 14.0%.
The wind, however, falls from grace. SSE (15.6%), S (13.4%) and SSW (10.5%) dominate as the summer sea-breeze machine returns, and ideal offshore winds are available only 23% of the time. Air temperatures rise to 17.1°C, water to 16.8°C, rainfall drops to 0.77 mm/day. Expect early morning windows and increasingly rare glassy stretches - the winter gold rush is over.
