Conditions at North Beach in November
November: Stormier Skies, Shorter Windows
November is a frustrating month for consistency. The average period drops back to 8.9s, ideal wind sits at 28%, and the NE (17.7%) and ENE (12.9%) combination keeps the beach messy for much of the month. S swell remains healthy (17.9%) with SSE at 17.8%, and the E/ESE/ENE window is still 43.0%, so there is no shortage of raw waves. But with only 10.1% of winds in the true offshore SW/WSW/W/WNW quadrant, clean groomed sessions are limited to early mornings and passing cold-front clearouts. Water temp is 23.0°C, air temps are 22.0°C, and rainfall jumps to 3.81mm/day. It's a month to stay flexible and chase the windows.
