November: The Summer Pattern Pushes Back
November marks a clear shift back toward summer. The average swell height is 5ft (1.5m), but the period falls to 8.0s - the shortest of the year. The wave rose is broadly favourable in direction, with ESE (16.3%), SE (16.0%), E (14.5%) and SSE (14.1%), yet NE (12.4%) and ENE (12.9%) now contribute a large share of the easterly trade energy. This is short-period, often wind-affected surf. Wind-wise, SSE (11.8%) and S (8.5%) combine with NE (9.8%) and NNE (9.7%) to keep onshore flow active for much of the day; offshore W/WNW/NW/NNW totals around 20%, and ideal wind slips to 37%. The morning NNW window still produces clean, fun waves, but the afternoon seabreeze becomes the norm. With air temps at 22.3°C, water at 22.0°C, and precipitation picking up to 3.62 mm/day, November is the gateway to summer's inconsistency.
