Conditions at La Graviere in November
November: Entering the Winter Firing Range
November is the month when La Graviere begins to take serious shape. Average swell height climbs to 5ft (1.6m), the period reaches 11.9 seconds, and the broad distribution of WNW (40.9%) and NW (35.9%) swell gives the beach a continuous supply of powerful, mid- to long-period energy. Over a third of all swells are head-high or bigger, and the frequency of 2m-plus waves jumps noticeably as North Atlantic storm systems intensify.
Wind statistics are still favorable, with ideal surfing conditions 36% of the time. Offshore ENE to SE winds total about 30% of the wind rose, and true onshore westerlies are less frequent than in October. November is also the wettest month of the year, averaging 4.70 mm/day of precipitation, so expect shifting fronts and active skies. With air temperatures around 10.4°C and water still at 15.6°C, the transition to winter gear is underway - but the reward is the first big, legitimately pumping sessions of the season.
