November: The Northeast Monsoon Rebuilds
November is a genuine turning point. The northeast monsoon begins to rebuild, and the ideal wind percentage jumps to 35%. The prevailing winds are shifting from WSW/W to a more northwesterly WNW and NW pattern, providing the south-facing beach with increasing stretches of offshore flow. Swell height eases back to 1.3m (4.5ft) with a 10.2s period, and while there are still a significant number of S (25%) and SSW (21%) waves, there's also a growing west component as the swell directions mix during the transition. This is a classic in-between month - some days are completely unclean, but out of the chaos there are now real, surfer-friendly windows. Water temp remains warm at 28.9°C.
