November: Signs of Summer, but the Southerly Machine Grinds On
November begins to feel like a change of season, but the statistics are still stubborn. Average swell drops slightly to about 5ft (1.6m) with a 13.0s period, and the wind is ideal only 3% of the time. The wave rose is almost entirely SSW at 91.5%, with a tiny 2.4% from the best SW direction. This is one of the least Kontiki-friendly swell mixes of the year, despite the manageable size. The wind is similarly unfriendly: S and SSW together account for 73%, and the SW wind share grows to nearly 20%, with 14% of all SW winds in the 10-20kph range. Most days will be crossed-up by onshore or cross-shore breeze. The saving grace is warmer air, averaging 17.9°C, and a recovering water temperature of 16.1°C, plus the occasional early morning calm before the afternoon southerly fills in. Keep expectations flexible.
