November: A Winter Preview
November is the standout fair-weather month at Blacks Beach, acting as a springboard into winter. The average swell height is still around 0.9m (3ft), but the direction mix becomes much more favorable. W and WSW now dominate, with W at 36.5 percent and WSW at 35.8 percent; SW drops to 21.2 percent. The average period of 12.8s signals the return of North Pacific groundswells. What really changes is the wind: ideal offshore flow jumps to 40 percent, the second-highest of the year, as high pressure begins to build over the Great Basin. While onshore W and WNW winds still appear (14.5 percent and 14.0 percent), they are increasingly confined to the afternoons. Water temps drop to 17.1°C (63°F), air temps average 17.1°C (63°F), and precipitation picks up to 0.82 mm/day.
