November: Warming Water and Punchy Pre-Summer Swells
November is one of the last good chances to score winter-style SSW/SW groundswell before summer takes over. Average swell is around 7ft (2.1m), but the average period is down to 10.8s, so it feels less powerful than the May-August window. SSW is again the engine room at 25.5%, SW follows at 17.7% and S contributes 12.8%; the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) bands remain well represented. The wind regime is a straight fight between E/ENE onshores and WSW/SW offshore tendencies: E totals 15.7%, ENE 10.1% and ESE 8.7%, while WSW (17.9%), SW (12.5%) and W (8.0%) provide the clean windows. Water temperature climbs back to 18.8°C and air averages 19.2°C. It is a punchy, fun month, but you still have to dodge the sea breeze.
