Conditions at Amado in November
November: Winter is Officially Here
November is a full winter month, with the ocean serving up serious size and power. The average swell height reaches 2.1m (7ft), and the period is a meaty 12.0s. The swell window is firing, with northwest energy at 28.9 percent, west-northwest at 15.6 percent, and north-northwest at 14.9 percent. Waves in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range dominate, and there's also a meaningful amount of 2.5m+ (8ft+) energy starting to appear. This is classic northwest groundswell hitting the west-northwest-facing beach at full tilt.
Winds become more offshore-friendly, with the ideal wind percentage rising to 26 percent. The wind rose shows the north-northeast and northeast directions becoming more important, which are cross-shore to offshore for Amado. This allows for more clean, perfectly groomed surf days. The east and east-southeast directions also contribute to the offshore flow, making for a balanced pattern. Precipitation rises to 2.95 mm/day-one of the wettest months-but this is exactly what fuels the winter storm engine. Air temps cool to 16.7°C, and the water is still a reasonable 17.7°C. The combination of powerful swell and frequent offshore wind windows makes November a top-tier month for serious surfer seeking quality and size.
