November: Pre-Summer Transition with Trade Complications
November is still a month of size - average 5ft (1.5m) with a period of 8.5s - but the quality dial doesn't move much: ideal wind sits at 26%. Swell direction remains strongly easterly: ENE (21.8%), E (20.4%), ESE (17.1%), SE (12.5%), SSE (12.9%) and S (7.8%) fill the tables, with the bulk of energy in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range and a good slice in the 6-8ft (2-2.5m) category. The NE trades continue to master the sky: NE (22.6%), ENE (14.7%) and NNE (11.1%) make clean offshore windows scarce. When the winds do swing to W/NW, usually behind a frontal passage, the waves clean up quickly and become genuinely fun. Water temp is 20.4°C, air 19.3°C, and precipitation drops to 3.93 mm/day. November is for the patient surfer.
