November: Turning Point-the Monsoon Fights Back
November is the month when the Northeast Monsoon begins to reassert its dominance. Ideal wind time drops sharply to 10%, and the wind rose shifts back toward ENE (23.1%), E (17.7%), NE (13.5%), and ESE (9.3%). The average swell height is still decent at 1.3m with a period of 9.9s, but the direction is becoming a problem: NE (60.7%) and ENE (24.3%) are the overwhelming majority, while western swell almost disappears-WSW (0.2%), W (0.1%), and WNW (0.3%). This is a transition month with plenty of raw, powerful ocean energy but not the right quality. Early in the month, lingering westerly offshore flows can still produce fun, clean days; but as the month progresses, the NE trades and associated onshore conditions take over. Rain increases to 12.02 mm/day, air temps are still warm at 28.0°C, and water temps cool slightly to 28.9°C. November can be hit-or-miss; you're gambling on the last breaths of the summer pattern.
