Conditions at Aramoana in November
November: Pre-Summer NE Pulses
November is where Aramoana starts to wake up properly. The N-ENE component rises to over 16% of wave energy, with ENE leading and NE following closely. Average wave height edges down to 6ft (1.8m), period remains solid at 10.5s, and ideal wind days sit at 24%. The swell mix is a classic spring blend: long SSW groundswell from fading Southern Ocean lows mixing with newer NE pulses generated by strengthening subtropical highs. Offshore WSW and SW winds are frequent enough to clean things up, especially in the morning. Air temps rise to 11.0°C, water temp follows at 11.8°C, and precipitation averages 2.07 mm/day. On the right day, Aramoana offers shoulder-high-plus walls with far fewer crowds than summer.
