November: Decreasing Size, Steadier SSW Pulse
November sees the Southern Ocean start to wind down, and average swell height drops to 1.6m (5.2ft) at Caballeros. The period remains long at 13.0s, and the swell direction becomes extremely focused: SSW accounts for 91.5% of all energy, one of the highest percentages of the entire year. The S and SW components shrink to 5.2% and 2.4%, respectively. Size-wise, the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range is back in charge at about 36%, with an additional 45.5% in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range. The result is still good, rippable surf, but with fewer of those heavy 6.5-8ft sets.
Wind continues to favor the south-southwest quadrant: SSW 40.6%, S 32.3%, and SW 19.7%. Ideal offshore wind is only 2%, so the surface is often lumpy. Water temperature begins to recover, rising to 16.1°C, while air temp averages 17.9°C. Rain is essentially zero. This is a good month for stepping up to a longer board and taking advantage of the long-period, clean-shaped SSW swell when the wind allows.
