Conditions at El Muelle in November
November: Prime Season Arrives, If the Wind Cooperates
November delivers a serious step up in size. Average swell height reaches 2.0m (6.6ft) and period 11.9s, with NNW (40.7%) and NW (19.4%) still leading the way. N adds 9.4% and WNW 3.4%, so El Muelle is exposed to a steady conveyor belt of long-period Atlantic groundswell. A notable share of the observations fall in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range, and some days will easily push over the 2.5m (8ft) mark as lows deepen west of Portugal.
Wind conditions remain the great selector. Ideal offshore wind holds at 10%, but NNE (25.9%) and NE (22.4%) are still heavy, along with a large ENE/E component. The key is finding the post-frontal window where the wind flips southwest or west - those are the sessions that make El Muelle special. Air temperature cools to 20.6°C, water temperature drops to 21.7°C, and rainfall increases to 0.47mm/day. November is one of the most consistent months of the year for size; the only variable is whether the wind lines up.
