November: Swell Direction Mixes as the Trades Return
November is a transition month. The SSW direction still leads the wave rose at 81%, but a northern component begins to reappear, with N/NNE/NNW totals starting to nudge back into the mix. Averaged wave height stays around 2ft (0.6m), and the average period eases to 11.1s. The wind picture improves as the dry season approaches: NNW flow strengthens to 40%, NW to 18%, and WNW to 8%, lifting ideal surf wind to 65%. This makes November a solid bet for fun, small, clean-surf windows, especially compared to the fickle onshore afternoons of September and October. Water temperature sits at 28.4°C and rainfall remains high at 8.60mm/day.
