Conditions at Ervik in November
November: Grit and Groundswell
November is a full-on winter month. Average swell height reaches 5.6ft (1.7m), average period is 11.1s, and the North Atlantic low-pressure conveyor belt is running at full speed. The dominant swell directions are NNW at 16.3%, W at 12.1% and WSW at 11.5%, with good-angle WNW at 8.8% and NW at 9.3% lending quality; combined, the optimal N/NW family accounts for 36% of wave energy. The heaviest sea state is usually in the 3-6.6ft (1-2m) range, with plenty of 6.6-8ft (2-2.5m) pulses when a storm is active.
Winds are messy but workable. S at 12.2% and SSW at 11.1% provide the offshore push, while NE at 7.4% adds a colder, sometimes cross-shore component. Ideal conditions are 18%. Air temperatures drop to 5.1°C, water temperature to 9.9°C, and precipitation averages 6.56mm/day. This is raw, committed Norwegian surfing - thick wetsuits, fading light and long-period NW swells that light up Ervik when the wind gods cooperate.
