Conditions at Fitzroy Beach in November

November: Summer's Approach, Sea Breeze Season

November eases into the summer transition. The average swell height loosens to 1.8m (6ft), the period shortens to 11.3s, and the consistency becomes less reliable. WSW remains the dominant swell direction at around 44 percent, but the energy is often mixed with windswell, producing less organized surf. The offshore wind score stays low at 16 percent, and as the land heats up, a daily W/NW sea breeze becomes the regular afternoon spoiler. That said, there is plenty of potential on the right mornings - light ESE offshore flows, warm air, and leftover groundswell can serve up clean, rippable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves. Water temp climbs to 16°C (61°F), and the crowds thin out after the winter season. It is a dawn-patrol month, but a good one for logging turns in softer conditions.
