November: Prime Time Arrives
November is arguably the best month of the year at Bathtub Beach. Swell heights average 4ft (1.3m) - the highest of the year - with periods of 8.2s.

This is the month when the jet stream digs south and low-pressure systems off the Southeast coast produce consistent, powerful NE groundswell. Offshore wind frequency improves to 20 percent, and the rise in NNW/NW wind at 10.8 and 4.6 percent reflects more post-frontal cleanups. Air temps are comfortable at 23.4°C, water temps have cooled to 25.1°C, and rainfall drops to 2.67 mm/day.
