Conditions at Spiekeroog in November
November: Raw, Stormy and Occasionally Epic
November keeps the winter momentum going with an average swell of about 5ft (1.5m) and an average period of 6.3s. The swell direction mix is more clustered than October: NW leads at 11.6%, WSW at 10.7%, WNW at 9.7%, W at 9.6%, SW at 8.5% and NNW at 7.3%. The extra west in the swell angle means energy wraps into the north-facing spot, but it can also make the beach more exposed to onshore west-northwest wind. The wind regime is excellent on paper, with SSW at 13.3% and SW at 11.9% leading the pack, and ideal offshore conditions occurring about 14% of the time. When a vigorous low pressure center passes over Scandinavia and the wind backs into the offshore S/SW quadrant, Spiekeroog can deliver pumping 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) peaks that hold up well on the sandbars. Air temps drop to 8.6°C, water temp is 10.1°C, and the forecast obsessing begins in earnest.
