November: Trade Winds Reawaken
November is the bridge back to winter. The average height is still modest at 1.0m (3-3.5ft) and the period is a short 7.4s, but the trend is clearly upward. The NE share gives way to a more varied rose - NE at 67%, NNE at 20% and N/NNW contributions returning - which actually broadens the swell window for the beach. The big story is the wind: 50% ideal, the high reading of the year, as the NW/NNW flow regains its strength ahead of the dry season. Rainfall is at its highest, 10.15 mm/day, and water temperature remains warm at 28.5°C. Expect intermittent clean sessions and a notable increase in swell energy by the end of the month.
