Conditions at Yport in November
November: Raw Power and Narrow Windows
November is full-on winter surf. Average swell height reaches 1.4m (4.5ft), period is 7.4s, and the ocean has plenty of energy. W (19.0%) and WSW (17.5%) still lead the wave rose, but the spread is wider: SW 9.9%, WNW 8.1%, NNW 6.5% and NW 4.6% all add up to a more varied and surfable mix. Wind is aggressive - SSW 11.5%, SW 10.7% and S 10.2% dominate, but often at 20-50kph, making the 13% ideal offshore wind windows small and precious.
Water temp drops to 12.8°C (55°F), air temp averages 9.7°C, and precipitation climbs to 3.06 mm/day. The waves are powerful, lumpy and sometimes out of control. The best sessions happen after a low pressure system has passed and the wind snaps offshore from S/SW while a N/NW swell is still pulsing through the Channel. It's a raw, demanding month, but for the right surfer, Yport delivers some of its heaviest waves of the year.
