Conditions at Strand in November
November: Summer Gradient Rebuilds
November marks the return of the strong summer wind machine, but the surf remains very much alive. Average swell height is 7.5ft (2.3m) with a period of 11.2s, and the swell direction profile is excellent: SW leads at 25.6%, SSW at 17.3%, WSW at 7.5% and S at 9.3%. The main issue is wind: SE and SSE directions account for 41% of all observations, with S and ESE adding more energy, leaving only 24% ideal windows. Morning glass-offs and east-northeast thermal breaks are the sessions to chase. Air temperatures climb to 17.5°C, water to 16.6°C, and rain is modest at 1.37mm/day.
