Conditions at Gruissan in November
November: Prime Time for Local Storms
November earns its place in Gruissan's best season. Averages rise to 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m), the period reaches its high at 5.4s, and ideal wind improves to 25%. The E/ESE/SE/SSE swell complex remains strong at 33%, while NW/WNW again shows large amounts of windsea. The difference is the frequency and intensity of Mediterranean low-pressure events: cold polar air masses undercutting warmer air over the Balearic Sea generate ESE and SE swells with more push, and the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) classes are well represented. Offshore NW/WNW winds are still common, giving a decent chance of clean conditions after fronts pass. Water temp is mild at 16.4°C, air temps average 11.7°C, and rain remains prominent at 2.03 mm/day. If you chase quality on the Languedoc coast, November often delivers.
