November: Prime Time For North Atlantic Swell
November is one of the most consistent months of the year at Tifnit. The average swell height is around 6ft (1.9m) and the average period has jumped to 12.2 seconds - proper long-period groundswell. The North Atlantic storm track is fully active now, sending pulses out of the northwest on a regular basis. NNW accounts for 42.6 percent of the swell, NW for 32.1 percent, and WNW for 6.0 percent, giving Tifnit a broad, workable window. Wind quality improves dramatically: ideal conditions run at 40 percent. Easterly and SE winds are common, with E at 11.5 percent, ESE at 9.9 percent and SE at 5.7 percent, combining with other offshore angles to groom the swell. This is the classic Moroccan setup - heavy, pitching lines with offshore texture. On the negative side, rain increases to 1.79mm/day, the wettest month of the year. Air temperatures average 17.4°C while water temperature is still a comfortable 19.3°C. November should be high on the priority list for anyone chasing Tifnit at its best.
