November: Cleanup Begins as the Rain Eases
November is the bridge back to the dry season, and the surf quality responds immediately. Average swell height drops to 4ft (1.2m) with a 12.4-second period, still very rideable. The SSW direction dominates again at 91.6 percent, with 6.8 percent from the SW and a tiny WSW signal. 70.1 percent of waves fall in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and 8.4 percent reach 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m). The big improvement is wind: ideal offshore flow occurs 35 percent of the time, the highest percentage of the year. Rainfall eases to 6.37mm/day, air temperature averages 25.2°C, and water temperature is 27.9°C. With more NE through ESE offshore mornings and consistent SSW pulses, November is a hidden gem for clean, rippable waves before the smaller but even cleaner dry season sets in.
