November: Winter Swell Returns in Force
November is a serious surf month at Destroyers. The average swell jumps to 5ft (1.5m), the period reaches 9.3s, and the wave rose is filled with northern energy. NE leads at 38.2%, ENE adds 36.3%, NNE contributes 16.1%, N 1.6% and NNW 0.2% - making the preferred north quadrant roughly 56% of the total. Swell heights are consistently in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) range, with a healthy share of 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) sets from the NE and NNE. This is the true beginning of the prime season.
Winds are still from the E/ESE/SE quadrant most of the time, but the ideal-wind percentage holds at 38%, and the stronger winter fronts often deliver better offshore and light-wind windows. Air temperature drops to 26.4°C, water temperature remains warm at 28.2°C, and precipitation increases to 3.13 mm/day, the wettest of the year - expect occasional heavy tropical showers. When the trades ease, November can deliver some of the best waves of the year.
