Conditions at Kitaizumi in November

November: Prime Time Offshore Flow

November might be the most consistent month for clean surf at Kitaizumi. The average wave height is 1.0m (3ft) and the average period is 9.2s, but the real story is the wind: ideal surf wind hits 48 percent, the highest of any month. NW winds are at 15.0 percent, WNW at 14.2, W at 9.9, WSW at 9.2 and SW at 7.9, which means offshore and cross-offshore conditions dominate. On the swell side, E and ESE each contribute around 20 percent, ENE follows with 15.5 and NE with 9.0. That is a strong, workable winter swell mix for this stretch of coast, with occasional 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) peaks when a more intense low develops.

Autumn rains ease to 2.90 mm/day, air temperatures drop to a brisk 12.4°C, and water temperature cools to 16.6°C. For a surfer, this is prime time: cold fronts roll through, westerly offshore flow cleans up the lines, and the east-facing sandbars handle the NE/E energy beautifully.
