November: Winter Swell Kicks In
November is a dramatic step-up for Crash Boat. Average swell height jumps to 1.5m (5ft) and the period is a solid 10.0s, bringing back real energy to the water. The swell direction is heavily north-northeast - NE 42.4%, NNE 27.8%, ENE 16.3% - with a healthy distribution of 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m waves. This is the time when North Atlantic lows begin to pump regular groundswell into the Caribbean. While the direction is still not the ideal SSW-W, the sheer power of these winter swells means Crash Boat receives enough wrap-around energy to produce solid, rippable peaks.
Wind conditions remain favourable, with ENE at 41.9%, E at 20.3% and NE at 15.2%. The ideal-wind rating is 48%, so you'll need to pick your windows but the offshore flow is common. Air temps cool slightly to 26.4°C and water is 28.4°C, and precipitation climbs to 4.85 mm/day as the trade winds strengthen. November is a reliable month for scoring head-high waves at this exposed west-facing sandbar.
