Conditions at Baked Beans in November
November: The Calm Before Summer's Peak
November continues the seasonal slide into lower-period and slightly smaller surf. Swell height averages 2.1m (6.9ft), period drops to 10.8s, and ideal wind improves to 26%. The swell direction is still chiefly SSW at 25.5% and SW at 17.7%, but the S component at 12.8% and increasing SSE/SE/ESE energy indicate a broader mix of groundswell and more locally generated background swell. The wind regime is in transition: WSW at 17.9%, SW at 12.5% and W at 8.0% combine for a decent share of offshore/cross-offshore flow, while the E/ENE quadrant at around 26% provides the main onshore complication. With air temps at 19.2°C, water at 18.8°C, and 1.70 mm/day precipitation, the wettest month of the year, November can be hit-or-miss. When a SSW groundswell lines up with light offshore flow, though, the waves are clean and user-friendly.
