November: The Best Window of the Year
November delivers the strongest yearly combination of swell angle and wind quality at Punta Arena. The average wave height is 0.8m (2-3ft), the period is 11.5s, and the directional mix is much more balanced than summer. S swell drops to 32.1%, SSE to 21.4%, and NNW jumps to 16.9%, while SSW, SW, SE, and even the preferred NE, ENE, E and ESE directions all chip in. This gives the beach a much better chance of catching workable waves from multiple angles.
The wind is the real story. Ideal wind frequency reaches 50%, the highest of the year, with light to moderate WNW and NW flow frequently grooming the surface. Water temperatures have cooled to 27.3°C, air averages 25.0°C, and precipitation is light at 0.69 mm/day. Expect clean, glassy conditions punctuated by small but punchy 2-4ft waves, with occasional bigger sets if the first true North Pacific groundswell lines up.
