Conditions at Telescopes in November
November: The Monsoon Flip-Flop
November is the most unpredictable month. Ideal wind drops back to 32%, and the NW/WNW/NNW flow returns with force, bringing onshore conditions that chop into the long-period waves. Wave heights fall to 3-4ft (1.1m) and period eases to 13.0 seconds, so there is less push to overcome the adverse wind. Swell is dominated by SSW (57%) and SW (19%), with WSW (5.2%) and W (2.4%) beginning to appear more regularly-these more westerly directions line up better with the WNW-facing coastline, but they often arrive with the same westerly breeze that ruins the surface. Rainfall spikes to 12.96 mm/day, making November the wettest month in the data. Water temperature remains a warm 28.9°C. It is not a write-off, but conditions are a constant battle.
