November: Peak Autumn Storm Energy
November is one of the most consistent months of the year. Average swell height reaches 1.8m (6ft) and period lengthens to 11.9s, with a high percentage of swell in the 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m classes. The NW direction still dominates at 41.5%, followed by WNW at 18.4% and NNW at 12.8%, while northerly and NNE contributions become a bit more noticeable. November also has one of the wettest weather profiles on the north coast, with 4.60mm/day of precipitation as frontal systems march across the Bay of Biscay. Ideal wind share is 48%, meaning many of those low-pressure systems bring the S-SSW flow that Laredo loves. Water temperature cools to 15.6C and air temperature to 13.0C. It can be wild, stormy and occasionally raw, but November is a month where the beach is routinely pumping.
