November: Winter Swell Ramps Up
November is when Gas Chambers starts to get serious again. Average swell heights jump to around 5ft (1.5m), and the period holds at 10.0s. The swell chart shows NE at 42.4%, NNE at 27.8%, and ENE at 16.3%, with healthy chunks in both the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) categories. There is also some 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) energy in the mix. It is not the ideal W/SW groundswell, but the northern component is strong, long-period, and wraps into the spot with real power.
The trade winds return with intensity. ENE winds at 20-30 and 30-40kph become more common, which is why the ideal wind percentage drops to 49%. Surfers need to hunt the clean windows, especially around dawn and tide changes. Water temperature is still tropical at 28.4°C, air averages 26.4°C, and precipitation is 4.85mm/day. Winter is knocking on the door.
