November: The Biggest South-Swell Month of the Year
November is arguably Kastro Point's most promising month for favourable south swell. The average swell height is 0.7m (2.3ft), average period is 5.6s, and a remarkable 35.1% of all swell comes from the SE/SSE/S/SSW quadrant - the highest percentage of the year. SSW (11.9%) and S (11.3%) lead, with SSE (6.9%) and SE (5.0%) also in the mix. This is the time when a deep Mediterranean depression can send raw southern energy into the SSE-facing beach. The downside remains the short period and the trades: ideal offshore wind occurs only 19% of the time, and the ENE/E/ESE winds often dominate. Still, when a low-pressure system sits to the southeast and a NW/NNE offshore wind blows, Kastro will be firing in the 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) class on its best waves. With water temperature still pleasant at 20.1°C, a 3/2 wetsuit is often enough. Rainfall is substantial at 4.76 mm/day, so expect fresh water flowing off the hills and an energetic, raw Mediterranean atmosphere.
