Conditions at Los Patos in November
November: Winter Engine at Full Throttle
November is a true winter month for Los Patos. Average swell height reaches 5-6ft (1.7m) with a 12.0s period, and the Atlantic storm track is now fully active. Swell directions are well aligned: NNW at 41.5%, NW at 13.8%, N at 11.7% and WNW at 2.0%, with NNE at 17.4%, so the beach sees a steady supply of long-period, powerful groundswell. Surf sizes are concentrated in the 3-8ft (1-2.5m) bracket, with frequent pumping 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) waves and occasional XXL days if a deep low lines up.
Clean wind is available about 27% of the time, and while ENE at 21.9% and NE at 20.8% still dominate the wind rose, the higher frequency of SW/WSW fronts gives more opportunities for true offshore conditions. Air temperature drops to 20.1°C, water temperature remains pleasant at 22.5°C, and precipitation increases to 1.01 mm/day. This is a month to keep the calendar clear and the neoprene ready.
