November is statistically the cleanest month at Sendai, with ideal wind 54% of the time. The average height holds at 3ft (1.0m), the period is a consistent 9.3s, and the combined offshore WNW/NW/W wind sector is strong. Swell direction is perfectly lined up with the beach's ESE exposure: ESE (20.7%), E (16.3%), SE (16.5%) and ENE (8.7%). The North Pacific storm track is now fully active, and repeated low pressure systems produce punchy, mid-period swell; when the period pushes into the 10-14s range, Sendai receives some of its most powerful waves of the year.
