Conditions at Imsouane in November
November: Storm Season Kicks Into Full Gear
November is one of the most exciting months for Imsouane. The average swell height climbs to 2.1m (7ft) with a solid 12.2s period, driven by increasingly powerful Atlantic storm systems. The swell distribution becomes a little more spread than in summer: NNW is still dominant at 40.6%, NW adds 24.0%, and WNW brings 5.9%, with small contributions from WSW and SW. These west-of-north directions are important because they begin to wrap into the SSW-facing bay with more energy and a longer, more open face. Offshore winds blow 61% of the time, mostly from the N/NNE/NNW sectors, which keeps the surface clean even when the swell is pushing overhead. Temperatures cool to an average of 18.6C, water temp remains comfortable at 18.2C, and precipitation jumps to 1.51mm/day as winter fronts become more frequent. This is the month when the photos start looking serious.
