November: The Inlet Hits Its Stride
November is arguably the best month of the year at Sebastian Inlet. The average swell height reaches 3-3.5ft (1.0m), period is a solid 8.6s, and favorable wind improves to 23%. The wave rose is a textbook fall/winter distribution: ENE (31.1%), E (24.4%) and NE (19.4%), with strong contributions in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) categories - ENE alone puts 8.9% into the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class and 2.9% into the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class. Nor'easters and frontal lows are becoming more frequent, while the wind rose shows a healthier mix of post-frontal NNW (12.3%), NW (5.7%) and W/SW flow alongside the ENE (12.4%) and NE (10.2%) components. When those two elements align - incoming NE/ENE swell with offshore W/SW wind - the inlet's jetties produce some of the most fun, rippable surf of the year.
Water temperature is still reasonable at 24.3°C, air averages 21.4°C, and precipitation is the year's lowest at 2.03 mm/day. November is the time to plan a trip.
