Conditions at Kraakevika in November
November: Gritty, Powerful and Consistent
By November, winter has Kraakevika in its grip and the swell machine is running at full tilt. The average wave height is 4-5ft (1.4m), the period is a serious 10.6s, and the W/WSW/WNW/NW sector continues to feed the beach with organised, powerful groundswell. November actually has the highest ideal wind percentage of the year at 27%, with offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE directions firing as high pressure noses into Scandinavia and Atlantic lows pass by. The surrounding wind rose is still hostile at times - SSW (14%) and S (11%) generate raw, stormy conditions - but the combination of strong swells and clean winds makes this a legitimately high-quality surf month. Water temperature drops to 9.5°C, air averages 3.5°C, and precipitation remains high at 5.42 mm/day. Expect proper Norwegian late-autumn surfing.
