Conditions at Skallelv in November
November: Dark and Full of Power
November is solidly in the core surf season. Average swell height sits at 3ft (0.9m) and the period at 6.8s, with ideal wind 23% of the time. The wave rose shows a healthy NE (14.0%) and NNE (12.2%) core, though the ENE (11.3%) and E (5.0%) contributions add some of the directionality Skallelv needs. The wind is heavily southwesterly - SW (16.5%) and WSW (18.2%) - but the W (11.0%), WNW (7.5%), NW (6.3%), and NNW (6.1%) offshore sectors produce enough clean windows to make the beach work. Late autumn lows across the Norwegian Sea and Barents Sea become increasingly boisterous, sending short-period swell into the fjord with real force. Air temperatures fall to -2.0°C and water cools to 5.9°C; snow showers and strong winds are common. Dress for the Arctic and keep an eye on wind direction - when it swings offshore, November can serve up some of the rawest, most powerful surf of the year.
