November: Firing Autumn Groundswell
November locks in the winter pattern with a vengeance. The average swell size builds to 5.2ft (1.6m) and the period runs 11.7 seconds - powerful, long-period groundswell that strips the fat off the waves and creates hollow, critical peaks at the beach. NW is the undisputed king at 38.4%, with NNW at 23.9% and WNW at 11.6%. The height distribution shows a serious amount of meat: over 10% of the NW sector is in the 5-6.6ft (1.5-2m) window and almost 7% is in the 6.6-8.2ft (2-2.5m) range, with some bigger sets. Clean wind days hold at 50%, as SSW (17.2%), SW (13.7%), S (9.7%) and WSW (9.1%) offshore flows dominate. The cost is weather: November is the wettest month of the year (4.22mm/day) and air temps drop to 11.1°C, but the water is still a relatively benign 15.3°C. If you can handle the rain and a bit of cold, November often serves up the most memorable sessions of the year.
