Conditions at Punta Conejo in November
November: Big NW Groundswells, Stormy Skies
November pulls the plug on the long-period southern hemi reign and brings back raw, punchy North Pacific groundswell. Average height is around 6ft (1.8m)-tying for the annual high-but the period has shortened to 9.3s, and the ideal wind percentage drops to the lowest of the year at 34%. The wave rose is led by NNW at 41.8%, with SSW down to 18.0% and due S at 9.9%; note the significant N component of 6.4% as well. The biggest slabs come from the NNW: 18.4% in the 5-6.6ft (1.5-2m) band and 17.4% in the 6.6-8.2ft (2-2.5m) band. These are powerful, punchy, sometimes unruly waves-they need a calm wind window to really shine. The wind rose is heavily weighted to NNW (45.9%) and N (24.1%), and many of those events are 20-30kph, with 17.4% in the NNW sector alone. Air temperature is 25.7°C, water 27.4°C, and rainfall is low at 0.65 mm/day. Cold fronts come through every few days; pick the dawn glass-off after a front passes.
