Conditions at El Frontan in November
November: Winter Power with Growing Offshore Windows
November delivers a serious step up in consistency. Average swell height is 4-5ft (1.4m) with an 11.8s period, and the north-northwest component is heavily weighted - NNW at 41.0%, NNE at 19.3%, N at 17.8% and NW at 12.2%. The longer periods mean more powerful, organised lines wrapping into the beach, and the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range becomes increasingly common.
Ideal offshore wind rises to 20%, with S, SSW and SW wind sectors combining for just under 9%, and southerly flows often accompanying the frontal systems that generate the swell. NE winds still lead at 30.0%, but their grip is weakening. Air temp drops to 20.6°C, water remains warm at 22.2°C, and rainfall rises to 0.66mm/day. November is reliably good - a true premium month for El Frontan.
