Conditions at Jan Juc in November
November: Spring Instability and the Pre-Summer Sea Breeze
November sees Jan Juc entering the shoulder season. Average swell height backs down slightly to about 5ft (1.5m), and period drops to 11.5s. The swell direction is still predominantly SW (46.8%) and SSW (24.7%), but there are more SE and SSE contributions creeping into the mix. These are often shorter-period, locally generated wind swells that don't have the same power as the winter groundswells.
Ideal wind falls to 27%, and the wind rose shows a return of the summer pattern, with SSE (10.2%), SE (10.3%), ESE (7.5%) and S (8.8%) flow. That means the afternoon sea breeze is back in full effect, and you need to grab the early northerly or northwesterly windows. Air temperatures warm to 14.7°C, water temperature to 15.3°C, and rainfall is 2.24mm/day. There are still solid days to be had, but they become more fleeting compared with autumn and winter.
