November: Clean Winter Rhythm
By November, the northeast monsoon is in full force. NNE swell is the absolute driver at 49.2 percent, with N at 30.7 percent and NNW at 11.4 percent. Average height is 3-4ft (1.1m), period is 7.8s, and there are regular waves in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, plus a decent share of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and occasional 6-8ft (2-2.5m) sets from the NNE lobe.
The wind, importantly, is ideal more often than any other month: the ideal wind percentage reaches 39 percent, with NNE and NE winds dominating the rose. Rainfall drops to 3.57mm per day, air temperature is 24.9°C, and water temperature is still warm at 27.9°C.
November is the cleanest, most consistent month of the season for surface quality. The heavy north-northeast swell direction is not the best theoretical angle for a south-west-facing beach, but with this much offshore wind and this much energy, enough wave wraps around to keep the bank happy. The best windows are when the swell angle bends through the NNW and the wind stays light NE.
