Conditions at Camacho in November
November: Summer Windswell Takes Over
November is the beginning of the low season in earnest. The average swell is 5-6ft (1.7m), but the period drops to 8.6s and the energy is increasingly from E/ENE/ESE - a combined 52.8% of the wave rose. The SE/SSE/S/SSW component falls to 35%, and much of that arrives as short-period windswell rather than true groundswell. Ideal wind is 19%, the lowest of the year, with NE winds at 24.3% and NNE at 20.1%. This is a classic groveling setup.
Air temp rises to 21.6°C, water to 21.0°C, and rainfall is 3.68 mm/day. The wind rose shows SSW at 9.3% and SW at 6.9%, so there are a few onshore frontal leftovers, but high pressure is building. For Camacho, November is about waiting for a surprise S pulse and making the most of smaller, cleaner dawn sessions.
