November: The Pre-Summer Calm - Still Plenty of Life
November is a true shoulder month. The average swell height steps down to 1.9m (6.2ft), the period shortens a touch to 12.2s, and the direction takes on a more southerly flavour once again. SW contributes 38.9%, SSW 20.0%, S 6.6%, and the ideal WSW window 13.3%, with W at 2.4% and WNW 0.8%. The combined ideal W-window drops to around 16.8%, meaning less of the swell is arriving from the square onshore direction. Still, the long-period component remains strong enough, and a 1.5-2m southwest groundswell with a 12s interval offers plenty of fun, rippable surf at South Point.
The wind pattern slowly trends back toward summer, with a strong SSE component (15.7%), S at 14.9%, SSW at 11.5%, and the offshore quadrant (ENE-E-ESE-SE) at 25.7%. Ideal surfing conditions are 16%. The bad W-WNW onshore sector has faded to 17.7%, so the coast is less stormy than in winter. The air is warming to 17.1°C, water temperature has rebounded to 19.1°C, and rainfall is down to 0.98 mm/day. November is all about timing: the swells are smaller, but the combination of gentle offshore winds and rising water temps can produce very clean, user-friendly waves.
