Conditions at Arma di Taggia in November
November: Heavy Lows and the Surfing Peak
November is statistically one of the strongest months of the year at Arma di Taggia, tied with January and December for 0.6m (2ft) average heights and holding a solid 5.6s period. The Mediterranean becomes a storm factory as the temperature contrast between the cold Alps and the still-warm sea peaks; heavy rain (4.14mm/day) accompanies the deep Genoa lows. Wave directions are a battle between the southern swell train (SSW 21.6%, SW 17.2%, S 9.5%) and the NE windswell train (NE 13.5%, NNE 9.4%). For the SSE-facing beach, S/SE/ESE directions deliver the best shape, and while they are not the most common, November has more 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and some 1.5-2m (5-6ft) readings in the S/SE range than any late-summer month. Wind-wise, NE and NNE directions are dominant, but a 14% window of clean N/NW flow offers crisp, autumnal glassy sessions. Water temperature drops to 17.7°C - time for a good wetsuit and a shortboard.
