Conditions at Vouliagmeni in November
November: The Best Swell Window of the Year
November is statistically the sweet spot. Average swell height jumps to 0.8m (2.6ft) and the period to 4.8s, with ideal wind at 20%. The favourable SE/SSE/S/SSW sector reaches about one-third of all wave observations, and SSW alone is 21.5%, with meaningful distribution in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft), 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft), and even 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) classes. Meanwhile, the offshore N/NNE/NW/NNW winds total 46% of the month. These ingredients line up because November is the peak of autumn cyclogenesis in the Mediterranean; deep lows over the Ionian or Libyan Sea aim long-fetch SSW swell at the south coast of Greece. Air cools to 14.6°C, water drops to 20.4°C, and rainfall rises to 2.44mm/day. It is wet, but it is the best bet of the year.
