November: Winter Winds Return and the Angle Moves West
November signals a return to winter-style conditions at First Point. The average swell height is 0.7m (2.3ft) and the average period is still a healthy 12.3s, but the swell direction is shifting back toward the west. W energy now leads at 38.2%, with WSW at 35.9% and SW at 19.6%; the favorable SSW share drops to 4.9%. This makes the surf less consistent for the SSE-facing point, but there are still plenty of workable days. The big improvement is wind. Ideal wind jumps to 59%, driven by strong NNE (17.8%), NNW (10.3%), N (5.5%), and NW (6.2%) offshore flows. These winter-style winds can turn an average west swell into clean, glassy walls at First Point, especially if any south in the angle lingers. Air temps cool to 16.3°C, water temps drop to 15.9°C, and rainfall increases to 0.91 mm/day. November is all about timing: pick the windows with offshore wind and a slightly south-angled swell, and you can still find excellent 2-4ft point surf.
