Conditions at Winkipop in November
November: Spring Shoulder, Dawn Patrol Season
November is a step back into more inconsistent surf. The average swell height eases to 1.2m and the average period falls to 11.5s, though SSW and SW swells still combine for 76% of the energy. Ideal wind drops to 32%, and SE/SSE onshore breezes become more common as the sub-tropical ridge builds and the land heats up. Air temp rises to 14.7°C, water temp climbs to 15.5°C, and rainfall remains high at 2.24mm/day.
The waves are still rideable, especially on SSW/SW swells with early offshore flow. But quality becomes more marginal through the morning as the seabreeze develops. Look for lower-pressure systems to the south and make the most of the dawn window.
