November: The First East-angled Swell of the Season
November is the turning point for Costa Azul. The average swell height drops to 0.9m (2.7ft), but the direction begins to rotate away from the southern hemi domination. S swells still provide 54.6% and SSW 31.2%, but now the ENE, E, ESE and SE components sum up to over 3% - the third-best month of the year. More importantly, the storm tracks in the northern hemisphere are starting to throw long-period swell pulses toward the coast. The wind stays favorable, ideal 73% of the time, with NNW, WNW and NW offshore breezes. Water temp still pleasant at 27.2°C, air 24.9°C. The surf is not yet firing consistently, but the mixed conditions mean more sessions where the beach breaks hold shape. A well-positioned cold front or a late-season tropical remnant can deliver the first true barrel day of the fall. If you're checking the forecast frequently, this is the month to start ramping up the stoke.
