November: Heavy Swells and Serious Storm Track
November is a heavy month. The average swell height pushes to 6ft (1.8m) with a period of 11.9s, and the North Atlantic is already in full storm mode. The wave rose is dominated by NW (41.5%) and WNW (18.4%) with a strong contribution from NNW (12.8%). The energy is concentrated in the 1.5-2.5m band - 13.0% at 1.5-2m and 9.5% at 2-2.5m - so expect consistent head-high to well-overhead waves with plenty of power. The wind is still favorable for clean surf: ideal wind percentage is 40%, with SSW (10.8%), S (9.9%) and SW (4.8%) providing solid offshore options. However, W (12.3%) and WNW (11.2%) are also prominent, so you need to watch the low-pressure tracks carefully. Air temperature falls to 13.0°C, water temp is 15.6°C, and November is the wettest month with 4.60mm/day of precipitation. This is a month for serious surfers - the waves are pumping, the water is turning cold, and the storms keep coming.
