What November feels like
November brings the first proper storms and empties the peninsula out — restaurants take same-day reservations again. The monarch sanctuary is filling up, and the winter swell starts stacking on the north-facing beaches.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 57° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
