November: A Clean Wind Window, Awaiting East Swell
November is the tease before winter. Ideal wind bumps back up to 50%, and the offshore W/NW sector remains prominent, with W (23.4%), WNW (19.3%), and WSW (12.0%) all well represented. The average period is just 9.7 seconds, however, and average wave height eases to 1.1m (3.6ft). Swell directions are still broad S/SSW/SW - SSW 25.0%, SW 21.3%, WSW 18.0%, S 15.3% - but the eastern quadrant starts to creep back in with SSE (8.0%) and SE (3.7%). It is fair season: mornings with light offshore wind can deliver smooth 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) waves, though the consistency is not yet there. Rain remains high at 6.69mm/day; air is 27.3°C and water 28.8°C.
