Conditions at Periscopes in November
November: Monsoon Clouds Gather
November is the final transition into the wet season, and quality becomes more inconsistent. Ideal wind is down to 52%, with a mix of S (22.2%), SSE (19.0%), SSW (15.8%) and SE (10.6%) flow. The easterly offshore pulses are still present, but so are increasing SW and WSW winds that spell onshore conditions at Periscopes. Swell averages 1.3m (4ft) with a 13.4s period, and the direction remains favorable: SSW (63.5%) and SW (35.7%) dominate, but the high end is less frequent than in the mid dry season. The 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range is the most common, with only 22% of waves pushing into the 1.5-2m (5-6ft) bracket. Rain returns in earnest at 3.92mm/day, air temp is 28.2°C and water temp has risen to 29.5°C. Chasing the pre-frontal offshore mornings is the move, but it is no longer trade-wind simplicity.
