Conditions at Kuta Reef in November
November: Shifting Winds, Still Clean
November is a transition month, but a fairly generous one. Ideal wind remains at 64%, with ESE (17.3%), SE (16.4%), SSE (10.7%) and E (7.6%) still providing plenty of offshore mornings. However, westerly flow is creeping back - WSW (9.2%) and W (8.7%) - so afternoon wind patterns become less reliable. Average swell drops to 1.6m (5-6ft), and the period shortens slightly to 13.2s. Swell direction is almost entirely SSW (83.5%), with a secondary SW pulse at 13.0%. Heights are mostly 1-2m (3-6.5ft), which translates to playful, rippable reef waves rather than winter slabs. Rainfall increases to 4.68mm/day, air temps climb to 26.2°C, water temp rises to 29.0°C, and quality can still be high if you pick the windows.
