Conditions at Popoyo in November
November: Last Southwest Pulses Before the Winter Trades
November is a transitional month with still-fun surf. The swell rose shifts back toward ENE/NE, but there is enough leftover SSW/SW energy to keep the optimal window near 47 percent: SSW 21 percent, SW 17 percent, S 7 percent, and WSW 2 percent. The average period dips to 11.5s, so the waves lose a little of the previous months' depth, but there are still clean, rippable days, especially early in the month.
Winds begin to strengthen from the ENE again, with ENE at 53 percent and NE at 25 percent. That is solid offshore direction for Popoyo, and ideal surf conditions sit at 25 percent. Rain tapers to 3.28 mm/day, water temp is 27.4°C, and air temps are 27.3°C. If you time the last SSW/SW swells, November can deliver some surprisingly good barrels; if not, the windswell remains rideable.
