Conditions at Playa Colorado in November
November: Fading Swell, Rising Winds
November is a transition month. The average period drops to 11.5s and the swell mix becomes more heterogeneous: ENE windswell reappears at 15%, while SSW (21%) and SW (17%) pulses still fight for dominance. Ideal wind remains a respectable 25%, and ENE/NE trades are building again. Wave heights are around 1.2m (4ft), but the quality is less consistent than October. Air temps 27.3°C, water 27.4°C, and precipitation eases to 3.28 mm/day. Catch the right SSW/SW pulse and it will still be fun, but the clock is ticking on the long-period season.
