Conditions at Wedge in November
November: Pre-Summer Mess
November is the frustration month. Average height is 1.7m (5.6ft) and the period has fallen to 8.9s, while ideal wind time sits at 28%. The wind rose shows NE (17.7%) and ENE (12.9%) taking a quarter of the pie, with SW/WSW/W/WNW just 10.1%. S (17.9%) and SSE (17.8%) swells are still present, and E/SE/ENE provide plenty of raw energy, but without clean offshore flow the Wedge rarely shows its true form. Fast, hollow wedges are replaced by sectioned, crumbling walls. A passing cold front or a cut-off low can still manufacture an excellent November day - especially with a long-period SSE swell and a W wind - but those are exceptions. Water temp climbs to 23.0°C, air to 22.0°C, and rain jumps to 3.81mm/day.
