November: Shoulder-Season Swell With Spring Chances
November sees average swell drop to 1.6m (5ft) with a 13.0s period, signaling a slow retreat from the winter peak. SSW dominates with 92% of the energy, and the height distribution tilts back toward the smaller side: 34% in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) band and 46% in the 1.5-2m (5-7ft) band. It is still plenty fun, but the consistent overhead punch of winter is less frequent.
Winds remain challenging, with only 1% ideal offshore flow. The S/SSW/SW sectors account for 93% of observations, and there is a noticeable pickup in moderate SW wind in the 10-20kph range. Water temp begins to rise to 16.1°C, and air temps warm to 17.9°C. Early mornings before the sea breeze develops are the key to finding clean, rippable surf.
