Conditions at Snapper Rocks in November
November: Transitional and Fickle
November is statistically the least consistent month for Snapper. Ideal wind bottoms out at 34%, and the wind rose is led by NNW (20.1%) with N (7.6%) and NNE (9.1%) compounding the onshore flow. The average period is the year's low at 7.3s, so even when swell arrives at 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m), it lacks the power and shape of winter groundswell.
Swell direction is broad: E (24.6%), ESE (20.8%), ENE (17.3%), NE (10.9%) and NNE (11.1%). Early-season tropical cyclones and Tasman lows can produce rare, longer-period E/NE swells, and if the wind swings SSW/SW, those can be excellent. But the default is lumpy, groveling conditions. Water warms to 22.6°C, air is 16.6-29.4°C, and rainfall is 3.08mm/day.
