Conditions at Alwars in November
November: The Northeast Monsoon Reawakens
November is a mixed bag as the monsoon pendulum starts to swing back. The average surf height drops to 2.6ft (0.8m) but the period remains a solid 10.3s. Importantly, favorable directions make a comeback: ENE contributes 15%, E 12%, and NE 7%, putting roughly 35% of the swell in the optimal quarter for Alwars. Yet southern energy still dominates - S 23%, SSE 18%, SE 10% - creating an unpredictable blend of actual surfable swell and energy that the spot cannot use.
Winds are also transitioning. NNE is the single most common direction at 30%, with NE at 18%, so onshore conditions still rule a good portion of the month; ideal offshore flow is only 21%. November is about watching the charts for the first strong NE monsoon pulses. When the NE trades have enough fetch and the local wind goes light/variable, Alwars can deliver punchy, semi-long-period waves right on the sandbars. Air temps average 26.7°C, water remains warm at 28.7°C, and rainfall is high at 7.43 mm/day.
