November: Chasing the Late Autumn Groundswell
November is one of the most dynamic months of the year. Average swell jumps to 0.9m (3ft) with the year's highest average period at 5.2s. The swell mix is dominated by SSE (14.5%), SW (12.8%), S (11.7%), and WSW (11.2%). While the average period is still short, these S/SSW swells are the ones that wrap and stand up best on the SSW-facing beach. Ideal wind rises to 19%, with NE (12.8%) and NNE (11.8%) being the primary offshore winds. The setup here is all about the passage of mid-latitude cyclones - as they move through, the wind swings to NE/NNE behind the cold front, grooming the leftover short-period westerly energy into something clean. Water temp cools to 17.5°C (63°F) and air to 14.5°C, so you'll want a 3/2mm wetsuit. November definitely qualifies as part of the best surf season for the committed.
