Conditions at Mangamanu in November
November: Summer's Edge Approaches
November is a transitional month where the winter machine winds down and summer patterns begin to dominate. The average swell height slips to 5ft (1.6m) with periods around 9.5s - punchy but missing the heavy, long-period punch. S swells still make up 23.6% of the rose, and SSE contributes 11.8%, so there are definitely waves. But wind reliability fades to 50% ideal, with NE and ENE winds becoming more frequent during the day. This is the time for dawn patrol in clean offshore conditions before the sea breeze chops things up. Water temps are rising to 12.8°C (55°F), and rain is on the decrease. For a wetsuit-wearing optimist, there are still sparks of greatness.
