Conditions at La Bocana in November
November: The Magic Window Reopens
November is arguably the finest month of the year at La Bocana. Ideal wind conditions surge to 70% - the best of the year - as the Caribbean high-pressure system reasserts itself and Tehuano offshore winds blow down the coast out of the NNE (24%), NNW (12%) and NW (9%). Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere is still feeding the wave machine: 4ft (1.2m) average at 12.7s, with SSW swell generating 80% of the energy and most waves peeling in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. The wet season slams shut, with rainfall dropping to just 1.45mm/day, while the water remains a warm 29.1°C. The recipe is simple: smooth, offshore surface, steady south groundswell, and some of the cleanest long lefts and rights of the year.
