Conditions at Kalk Bay in November
November: The Doctor Is In
November is the beginning of the summer wind regime. Average height holds at 2.4m (7.9ft) but period slips to 11.3s, so the energy is less organized. Swell directions remain from S/SW: SW at 22.9%, SSW at 16.2%, S at 9.8%, WSW at 7.3%, and SSE at 5.1% - a good direction mix, but the wind is increasingly against you. SE at 26.4%, SSE at 20.3%, and ESE at 7.3% total over 54% of observations, all bad angles for Kalk Bay. Ideal wind drops to 12%. Water temp climbs to 16.7°C, air temp averages 17.5°C, and rainfall is low at 1.37mm/day. The summer seabreeze is a daily certainty, so the best chance for clean surf is early morning or a rare NW land breeze during a weak front.
