Conditions at Lahinch in November
November: Thickening Winter Gold
November is deep in the thick of the prime season. Average wave heights are solid at around 6-7ft (2.0m) and period rebounds to 11.6s, producing relentless W/NW groundswell. W swells account for 26.0% of the wave directions, WNW 18.4%, and WSW 14.0%; each of those directions is delivering a large slab of 4-8ft surf. The weather takes a serious turn: November is the wettest month of the year with almost 5mm of precipitation per day, while the air cools to 9°C and water drops to 11.7°C. Ideal wind conditions (21%) come in short, sharp windows - often on the backside of low pressure when northerly winds rake the coast. When those windows line up with a long-period groundswell, Lahinch is as good as it gets in Europe. Just pack a quality wetsuit, booties, and plenty of flexibility.
