November: Building Winter Swells and Better Direction
November signals the real ramp-up of winter. Average swell height climbs to 5-6ft (1.7m) and period holds at 9.6s. The swell distribution is more north-heavy than earlier months: NE 37.2%, ENE 32.9%, NNE 16.7%, and N/NNW close to 4%. The larger 6-8ft (2-2.5m) band becomes more frequent, meaning Jobos will see solid, grinding surf when the tide and wind line up. Easterly winds remain prominent, but the favorable wind share sits at 49%, and the more northerly swell angles make cross-shore wind less of an issue. With air temps averaging 26.4°C, water at 28.4°C, and rainfall at 4.85mm/day, November can deliver that prized combination: warm water, increasing swell, and the first true north pulses of the season.
