November: First Signs of the Turn
November is a transition month. The rainy season is still active, with ideal wind at 35 percent, but the first pulses of dry-season air begin to slip in. Average swell height is a solid 1.2m (4ft), and the average period eases slightly to 12.0 seconds. Swell direction is 83 percent SSW and 17 percent SW, with 69 percent of waves in the 1-1.5m (4-5ft) range and 24 percent in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) category. The wind rose is still dominated by W (21.5 percent) and WNW (19.6 percent), but N, NNE and NW components begin to reappear more frequently. This makes November a mixed bag, with plenty of surf but inconsistent conditions. Rainfall remains high at 8.63 mm per day, air temperatures average 23.6°C, and water temperature is 27.8°C. The best sessions are often found under clearing skies after a passing storm.
