November: Long-Period Spring Warmup
November is a very good, slightly smaller spring month. The average swell height eases to 3.6ft (1.1m), but the period stays at a powerful 12.3s and ideal wind reaches 80%. The swell direction is beautiful and focused: SSW accounts for 94.9% of the energy, with S at 4.4% and SW at 0.7%. The distribution includes 63.2% in the 3.3-4.9ft (1-1.5m) band, 30.2% in the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) band, and only 1.4% over 4.9ft (1.5m). It is not a max-out month, but it is consistent and user-friendly.
Winds are a smooth southern blend - S 72.5%, SSW 19.9%, SSE 6.8% - with very little strong flow. Air temperature is 19.4°C, water has warmed slightly to 17.9°C, and rain is a modest 0.52mm/day.
