November: Winter Swell Rebuilds, Wind Turns Nasty
November marks a quick return to winter groundswell. Average swell height is 0.9m (3ft) but the period is a solid 13.4s, and the swell rose shows WNW (13.1%), W (31.4%), WSW (33.9%) and SW (19.1%). The WNW component is back, and as the month progresses, NW and NNW swell begins to appear more regularly. This is when the bay starts to regain its winter shape. The cost is wind: NNW jumps to 28.2%, NNE to 24.0%, N to 13.5%, NW to 8.3%, and ideal offshore wind falls to just 8%. Water temperature is 28.5 degrees C, air 26.7 degrees C, and rain is low at 1.13mm/day. Late autumn brings some of the first true groundswell of the season, but you have to pick your windows carefully to avoid the relentless onshore northerly flow.
