Conditions at Shangri-la in November
November: Westerly Wind Return and Clean Energy
November is the true gateway to high season. Ideal wind rises to 44%, and the wind rose is dominated by W (25.2%) and WNW (22.2%), with NW at 8.7% - the strongest offshore alignment since the spring. Average swell drops to 1.4m (4.6ft) and period to 10.0s, so the surf becomes punchier and slightly less powerful. Swell direction spreads out: S 26.0%, SSW 22.8%, SW 16.7%, SSE 14.4% and WSW 11.1%. While there is more west/northwest in the spectrum than the ideal E-SSE window, the clean westerly winds make the most of the south-angled swell that does arrive. Water temperature is 28.8°C, air 27.3°C, and rainfall is 5.81mm/day. Look for consistent, clean, fun-size surf with fewer crowds.
