Conditions at La Rinconada in November
November: Spring-to-Summer Bridge
November eases the storm engine slightly: average size holds at 6.5ft (2.0m), the period remains 12.6s, and ideal wind is 47%. The direction spectrum is heavily weighted toward SW and WSW - over 80% combined - meaning the southerly strength is still present but the direct W/NW window is less prominent. The long periods keep the waves powerful, and the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) class is extremely well represented, with occasional 8ft+ (2.5m+) sets. Offshore winds from S/SSW/SW/WSW continue to dominate, and with rainfall dropping to 0.81mm/day, air at 13.1°C and water at 12.7°C, the beach becomes more pleasant even when the surf is not at its absolute best. This is a transitional month, but consistently rideable.
