Conditions at Cox Bay in November
November: Wet, Wild And Powerful
November is one of the most reliable months for serious surf at Cox Bay. The average swell height is 8ft (2.4m), the average period is 11.7s, and the energy comes predominantly from W (20.3%) and WSW (18.3%), with SW (9.0%) and SSW (4.8%) adding variety. The west-facing beach is wide open to all of it, so waves can range from powerful, pumping peaks to proper heavy, charging days when the bigger sets roll through. Wind-wise, November is a classic month for offshore E/ESE flow: ESE (14.7%) and E (12.2%) are strong contributors, supported by ENE (5.4%) and NE (2.4%), giving about 34% ideal wind. The negatives are WNW (12.4%) and SE (11.8%), which accompany passing fronts and can turn the lineup into a washing machine. Water temperature drops to 9.6°C (49°F), air temps average 7.2°C (45°F), and precipitation jumps to 10.7mm/day - November is wet, wild and definitely not for the faint-hearted.
