Conditions at Rockaway-Manzanita in November
November: Stormy, Powerful and Rewarding
November gets serious. Average swell height climbs to around 9ft (2.8m) with an 11.7s period, and the W and WNW directions supply most of the energy. WSW adds another 7%, and waves over 8ft (2.5m) become a regular feature. This is heavy, powerful, hold-on-tight surf for the west-facing beaches.
As you would expect, the atmosphere is active. S winds dominate at 15% and SSW at 11%, marching with low-pressure systems across the Pacific. Yet the ideal offshore wind percentage is still a solid 34%, often in the cold, clear air behind fronts. Expect cold air at 7.3°C, heavy rain around 9.03mm/day, and water temperature at 11.0°C. November is for the dedicated - the rewards can be huge.
