November: Winter Reliability Locks In
November marks the return of true winter reliability. Ideal offshore wind jumps to 91%, the highest percentage since the previous winter, and the ocean is still holding 3ft (0.9m) of groundswell with a 13.4s period. Swell direction is a healthy mix of WSW (34%), W (31%), SW (19%) and WNW (13%), offering a blend of direct southwesterly lines and wrapping western groundswell. The beach becomes noticeably cleaner, and the long-period nature of the swell means the waves that show up are smooth and well-organized.
The wind rose is the picture of consistency: NNE 24%, NNW 28%, N 14% and NE 10% combine for an overwhelming offshore bias. Rain drops to 1.16mm/day, water temperatures are a still-warm 28.5°C, and air temperatures average 26.1°C. November is an excellent month to score La Lancha, especially for surfers who appreciate clean, medium-energy waves without the big crowds of mid-winter.
