November: Winter Swell Engine Fires Up
The North Pacific storm track switches on in November, and the wind climate at Venice Beach changes fast. Average swell height is still just 2.3ft (0.7m), but the average period is a solid 12.3s and the direction mix is winter-like: W 38.2%, WSW 35.9%, SW 19.6%, with SSW 4.9%. Most waves remain in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range, but there is a meaningful amount of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) swell and the potential for much bigger W/WSW events when a strong low sets up.
Ideal wind jumps to 49%, helped by a surge of NNE (17.8%) and N (9.1%) flow. Onshore wind is cut down to around 25%, so the surf is much cleaner between rain systems. Water temp is 15.9°C, air temps cool to 16.3°C, and precipitation averages 0.91mm/day. This is the month where winter surfers start to get excited.
