Conditions at Maceda in November

November: Consistent Autumn Power

November keeps the winter swell building. The average is 1.5m (5ft) with a 11.7s period, and the swell distribution remains heavily optimal: WNW 42.8%, NW 25.7%, W 15.3%. That consistent westerly-to-northwest energy makes Maceda a fun, powerful beach all month. Ideal offshore wind reaches 43%, tied with February for the second-highest of the year. The wind pattern often alternates between a cool easterly/southeast flow ahead of lows and a south/southwest flow on their leading edge. With average air temp 13.3°C and water temperature 15.6°C, still relatively mild. Rain becomes more frequent (4.77mm/day average), which often brings fresh onshore periods but also creates great surface conditions when the skies clear. This is a solid bet for quality wave hunters.
