Conditions at Stent Road in November
November: The Waiting Game
November is a month of transition, and at Stent Road it often feels like the ocean is holding its breath. Average swell height drops to 1.8m (5.9ft) and the period shortens to 11.3 seconds. WSW still leads the swell direction at 44.4%, with W at 13.9%, but there's less size overall compared to the winter months. Wind quality remains poor, with ideal conditions at just 13%. The offshore southeast flow is weak at 8.0%, while WSW, W, and WNW onshore winds remain prevalent. This combination means many small, choppy days. However, when a high-pressure system moves overhead and the wind flips to a light SE, the declining westerly swell can still offer fun, rippable waves in the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) range. Water temperature is 15.6°C, air averages 14.3°C, and precipitation drops to 3.30 mm/day - a sign that summer is approaching.
