November: Building Groundswell and Winter Energy
November is the bridge into peak winter, and you can feel the ocean's pulse quicken. Average swell height reaches 1.3m (4.3ft) and period lengthens to 9.2s, with the Atlantic low-pressure conveyor belt firing more consistently across the North Atlantic. WSW directs 31.7% of the swell into the bay, W adds 20.7%, and SW contributes 9.4%, keeping the SSW-facing beach well fed. Heavier swells are more frequent, with combined readings in the 1.5-2.5m (4.9-8.2ft) range pushing the surf into solid overhead territory on the best days. Wind-wise, onshore S/SSW/SW/WSW flow remains common, but NNW winds pick up to 8.8% and the N/NE quadrant offers more clean-wind windows than through the summer. With ideal wind at 7%, it is still about picking the right day. Water temperatures are 12.4°C and precipitation increases to 4.46 mm/day, winter is on the doorstep.
