November: Building Into Summer Consistency
November is a high-performance month. Average swell is 6.9ft (2.1m) at 10.7s, and ideal wind time climbs to 44 percent. The swell mix shifts back toward SSW at 27 percent, with SW at 17 percent and S at 12 percent, while ESE/SE/SSE swells contribute almost a quarter of the total. This blend makes for punchy, well-ordered waves rather than the heaving winter lines.
E and ESE winds are still common from the summer high-pressure setup, but the ideal S/SW flow is more frequent than in April or September. Air temperature rises to 18.7°C, water temperature is 18.6°C, and rainfall increases to 1.63mm/day. November is a great month for a surf trip: warm enough to be pleasant, clean enough to be excellent.
