November: Size Returns, Wind Trade-Offs
November sees the northeast monsoon build back in earnest. The average swell height rises to 1.0m (3.3ft) with a healthy 9.8s period, and the direction mix is much better than midsummer: NE 40.1 percent, ENE 50.2 percent, NNE 5.7 percent, with small N and NNW contributions. A solid chunk of the NE and NNE energy falls in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, and the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) category starts to show up. The trade-off is wind: N through NE flow strengthens, and ideal winds slip to 30 percent of the time. Still, with air temps dropping to 26.4°C, water temp at 29.0°C and rainfall staying moderate at 11.54mm/day, November is a prime month for solid, punchy waves when the onshore trades ease. Watch for days when a passing low-pressure system rotates winds offshore.
