November: Gearing Up for Winter North Atlantic
November is a serious transitional month and the back door into the best season. Average swell height lifts to 1.6m (5.2ft) and the period holds at 8.3s, while deep winter-like low-pressure systems increasingly dominate the Atlantic forecast. The directional picture is still mixed: the preferred ENE/E/ESE/SE window is around 22%, while S/SSW/SW swells provide the bulk of size. But the east in the swell rose shows up more often as coastal storms develop and frontal systems sweep through.
The wind is favorable more often than not, with an ideal-wind score of 49%, and the offshore flow from WSW/W/WNW/NW accounts for over 40% of the wind distribution. Water temp falls to 8.7°C and air temps drop to 6.8°C, so winter rubber is already needed. Precipitation is high at 4.02 mm/day, but the late fall atmosphere is also the most dynamic, delivering some of the best combinations of size, direction and clean west wind all year.
