Conditions at Saltstein in November
November: Wintry Mix of Wind and Swell
November delivers winter-like surf potential to Saltstein. Average swell height reaches 1.3m (4-5ft), average period sits at 5.7s, and the S/SSW/SW/WSW directions still produce the most energetic waves, especially in the 1-2.5m classes. The wind rose becomes friendlier for clean surf than summer: NNE and NE winds combine for over 22% of observations, and ideal surf wind is 20%. Yet the southern quadrant remains strong, with the SSW/SW/WSW combo contributing 29.6% of all wind. Storms tracking across the North Sea bring rain and shifting winds, so the forecast is all about timing-a NE offshore wind in the wake of a low is the golden ticket. Water temperatures fall to 8.6°C and air averages 4.0°C; winter rubber is back in play.
