November: Trade Wind Summer Returns
November sees the surf settle back into a summer pattern. The average swell height is 1.3m (4ft) and the average period slips to 8.5s, meaning more mushy, short-period waves. The directions remain centered on E (24%), ESE (22%), ENE (19%) and SE (14%), with the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) band dominating. There are still some 5-6ft (1.5-2m) sets from E and ESE, but they are less consistent than in spring.
Ideal wind drops to 23%, the lowest of the year alongside December. NNE (22%) and NE (20%) make up nearly half the wind distribution, and the offshore west/northwest quadrant barely shows up. Water temperature warms to 21.7°C, air averages 20.4°C, and precipitation is 4.32 mm/day. November is a month for lower expectations and a shortboard - pick the early mornings and hope for a stray cold front.
