November: The Trade-Wind Belt Returns
November sees the summer pattern re-establish itself across the Tasman. The average period drops to 8.2s - the lowest of the year - and ideal wind sits at just 12%. Swell directions are spread across ESE (16.5%), SE (16.7%), SSE (15.1%), E (14.0%), ENE (12.1%) and NE (10.5%). This is windswell territory: average height is around 5ft (1.5m), but wave quality suffers from the shorter period and the lack of a strong, organised groundswell source.
Wind patterns become a tug of war between offshore NNW (15.9%) and onshore/cross-shore NNE (13.5%), N (10.1%) and SSE (10.2%), with the E/ESE/SE/SSE onshore sector totaling about 30%. There are still clean days, usually before the daily seabreeze ramps and when a Tasman low creates a quick pulse of SE/SSE swell. Water temp climbs to 22.1°C, air is 22.3°C, and rain increases to 3.20mm/day. November is all about timing.
