November: Summer Onset, Fun-Sized and Wind-Affected
November brings the summer pattern back in earnest. The wave period drops to 8.9s, ideal wind falls to 23%, and the waves, while still averaging 5-6ft (1.7m), have a short-period, windswell character. The direction mix remains broad in the E/SE half of the compass: S 18%, SSE 18%, E 16%, SE 15%, ENE 14% and ESE 13%. Most surf falls in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range, with occasional 6-8ft (2-2.5m) sets from ENE and S/SSE.
Winds are the limiting factor. NE/ENE flow is strong at around 28%, and true offshore W/WNW/NW/NNW days are down to single digits combined. This makes Warner Beach prone to lumpy, cross-shore conditions under overcast skies and passing thunderstorms. Rain averages 6.58mm/day, water temperature is a warm 22.7°C, and air temps rise to 19.4°C. Small but rippable peaks can be found on the inside, but November asks for patience.
