November: Stronger Groundswell Returns
November delivers a significant step up in size and power. The average swell height jumps back to 1.5m with a 10.0s period, and the directional spread features more NE (42%) and NNE (28%) energy than any other month except December. A full 18% of all NE swell arrives in the 1.5-2m range, with solid lumps in the 2-2.5m class as well. Ideal wind still runs at 72%, and the winds are primarily offshore out of ENE (33%), NE (20%) and E (16%), so quality often matches quantity.
Air temperatures cool slightly to 27.4°C, water temperature drops to 28.4°C, and rainfall sits at 4.26 mm/day. This is the month when long-range swells start to light up the west-facing banks with consistency.
