November: Last Call for Southern Swell
November is a mixed-bag transition month. The southern-hemisphere swell machine is winding down, with SSW at 21.0% and SW at 16.8%, but the northeast trade-wind regime is building once again, reintroducing ENE (15.0%), E (8.7%) and NE (6.5%) windswell. The average period drops to 11.5s - still workable, but a step down from the 12.5-13.7s of the summer. The average height is 1.2m (4ft). The wind is strongly offshore from NE (56.0%) and ENE (14.8%), but the trades are strengthening, resulting in an ideal wind score of 58%. Rain eases to 4.01mm/day and water temperature cools to 27.4°C. Expect plenty of punchy waves, but be ready to hunt for the best banks and the most exposed sections of the beach.
