Conditions at Mekakoz in November
November: Autumn Storms Return With a Vengeance
November sees Mekakoz shift into serious winter mode. The average swell height reaches 6ft (1.8m) and the period extends to 11.8s, reflecting a fully re-energised North Atlantic. NW swells account for 34.8% of the wave energy, WNW for 21.4%, and NNW for 11.1% - a broad, powerful direction spread that constantly bathes the beach in northwest groundswell. The wind picture is a mixed bag: ideal offshore directions (S, SSW, SW, WSW) total just over 31% of the wind rose, but onshore W/WNW/NW winds also strengthen as deep lows sweep closer to the coast. This is the kind of month when you can get a 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) NW bomb, but the surface might be chopped out by front-relative winds. The trick is to wait for the post-frontal S/SW flow and score the windows between systems. The air drops to 13.0°C, the sea to 15.9°C, and precipitation nearly doubles to 4.60 mm/day - a wet month, but followed by some of the most powerful waves of the year.
