November: Summer Heat Builds, Surf Quality Drops
November is the beginning of the summer slump. Average swell height is 5-6ft (1.7m), period 8.9s, and ideal wind falls to 16%. The swell directions still look good on paper - SSE 17.8%, S 17.9%, E 15.9%, SE 15.3%, ENE 14.0%, ESE 13.1% - but they are increasingly mixed with shorter-period windswell generated by the strengthening NE trades. Wind observations tell the tale: NE 19.5%, SSW 19.6%, ENE 11.8% and NNE 9.1%, while the offshore W/NW quadrant is just 3.4%. Expect plenty of 3-6ft (1-2m) fair-to-choppy waves, with the rare tropical low keeping hope alive for a 6ft (1.8m) clean east swell. Water temp 22.9°C, air 22.0°C, rainfall 3.03 mm/day.
