Conditions at North Wall Ballina in November
November: Battle of the Trades and Westerly Changes
November is a true mixed bag. The average swell height is 5ft (1.5m) but the period falls to 8.2s, the shortest of the year alongside December. Swell direction broadens further - SE (17%), ESE (17%), SSE (15%), E (14%), ENE (12%), NE (11%) - meaning there is still plenty of energy, but it's less organized. Ideal wind drops to 38% as the trade-wind regime strengthens. NNW (15%) and NNE (13%) are the top wind directions, with N (8%) and NE (8%) also prominent; the E/ESE/SE/SSE onshore quadrant surpasses the offshore quadrant for the first time since late autumn. Air temps climb to 22.4°C, water is 22.3°C, and rain is 3.35 mm/day. Surfable but inconsistent; chase the overnight NW change before the east-northeast seabreeze turns it mushy.
