Conditions at Coco Pipe in November
November: Swelling Again as Winter Storm Tracks Return
November is when the North Atlantic reawakens. The average swell height jumps back to 5ft (1.5m), the period is 9.3s, and the direction mix is superb: NE (38%), ENE (36%) and NNE (16%) put 92% of the energy into the optimal swell window. Strong frontal systems over the western Atlantic generate persistent NE-angled groundswell, and Coco Pipe starts to show its true potential with consistent head-high to overhead sets and occasional bigger pulses.
The trade winds still blow from E/ESE about 52% of the time, but ideal offshore winds are increasing. Rain becomes more frequent as frontal systems approach, with precipitation reaching 3.13 mm/day - the wettest month of the year. Water temperature remains warm at 28.2°C, while air temperature averages 26.4°C. November is the start of the real season.
