Conditions at Beacons in November
November: The Wind Starts to Remember the North
November is the transition month that matters. Average swell settles to 4ft (1.3m) at 10.2s, and the direction is still excellent - S 24.8%, SSW 21.4%, SW 17.0% and SSE 15.6%. The height spread is broad, from clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves to 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets and a scattering of bigger stragglers. The big change is in the wind: W and WNW still dominate, but NW and NNW are becoming common, and N/NNE/NE flow is on the increase. Ideal surfing wind jumps to 29%, meaning the morning glass-offs are more frequent. It is still a gamble, but the odds are improving every week. Water is 28.9°C, air 27.3°C, and rain remains heavy at 6.04 mm/day.
