November: The Monsoon Wind Returns
November is a transition month, and the Northeast Monsoon rebuilds quickly. Ideal offshore wind drops to 12 percent, while onshore E (19 percent), ENE (16 percent), ESE (16 percent) and NE (10 percent) winds take over a growing share of the month. The swell is still solid - 4ft (1.3m) at 9.9s period - and dominated by NE (61 percent) and ENE (24 percent) energy. Early November can still deliver quality offshore days before the monsoon digs in, but by late month Pilar is often bumpy and lumpy again. Air temps sit at 28°C (82°F), water temperature is 29°C (84°F), and precipitation rises to 12mm/day.
