November: The Fall/Winter Crossroads
November is statistically the biggest month of the year by average swell height at 1.0m, with an average period of 8.6s. ENE swell leads the charge at 31.1%, E swell follows at 24.4% and NE adds 19.4%, and there is a solid chunk of 1-1.5m waves, plus real 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m pulses in the ENE sector. The transition into winter also brings more cold fronts, lifting ideal wind to 18% of the time. NNW wind jumps to 11.2%, with NE (10.1%), ENE (12.2%) and E (10.8%) still active, so the quality depends on the position of the front. If the wind goes west or north-west after a front, Melbourne Beach is firing with punchy 3-6ft (1-2m) waves. Water cools to 23.9C and air temp is 21.4C, while precipitation drops to 2.03 mm/day, a great setup for long surf sessions.
