Conditions at Punta Panico in November
November: A Faint Light at the End of the Tunnel
November shows the first signs of seasonal recovery. The average swell dips to 1.7m (5-6ft) with a period of 13.7 seconds, and the directional mix loosens up: SSW drops to 81% and SW rebounds to 16%, with small contributions from WSW and W. The 1.5-2m range still dominates at 61%, so there is plenty of power left, but the westerly component gives Punta Panico a slightly better chance of wrapping waves into the cove. Winds ease modestly - S (41%), SSW (34%) and SW (20%) remain offshore, but the 10-20kph share begins to grow, pushing the ideal-wind score up to 26%. It is still far from perfect, but November is the start of the transition back toward the cleaner, lighter summer pattern. Water temp has risen to 20.8°C, air averages 21.6°C, and rain is minimal at 0.08mm/day.
