Conditions at Karmay in November
November: Dark, Powerful and Consistent
November sees Karmay settle into winter rhythm. Average swell height reaches 7.2ft (2.2m), period 9.1s, and the S through W sector provides consistent, powerful groundswell. The wave rose also shows strong contributions from NW and WNW, while SE/SSE directions add a lot of local windswell in front of storms.
Wind remains the judge. SE and SSE dominate at 13.5% and 12.5%, with S adding another 8.6%, so plenty of storms come with wind in the wrong quadrant. Ideal offshore flow is 24%. When a northerly/easterly flow settles in after a frontal passage, the same swell can turn into clean, hollow lines. Water temperature is 10.1°C, air temps average 7.5°C, and darkness comes early - commitment pays.
