November: User-Friendly Swell Sizes, Same Old Wind
November marks the beginning of the return to warmer months, though the wind has not yet got the memo. Average swell drops to 5-6ft (1.6m), with a 13.0s period, and the wave direction is overwhelmingly SSW at 91.5%. The size distribution becomes more user-friendly than winter: 34.0% at 1-1.5m (3-5ft), 45.5% at 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft), and only 11.8% in the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) range. This is excellent potential for fun, rippable point surf. But wind is still the spoiler: S 32.3%, SSW 40.6%, SW 19.7%-almost all onshore-and ideal offshore flow is 0%. Water temperature begins to recover, reaching 16.1°C. November may not be as big as winter, but it can offer more manageable, rippable conditions if the wind plays ball. The trouble is that, statistically, the south wind rarely stops blowing.
