November: Winter Momentum Builds
November is where the winter season really kicks in. Average wave height rises to 1.5m (5ft) and average period lengthens to 11.7 seconds. The swell distribution is once again dominated by the northern quadrant: NNW 33.9 percent, NNE 22.2 percent, N 15.7 percent, and NW 11.8 percent, with a solid chunk of 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m swell from those directions. Playa de la Canteria gets increasingly regular sets in the head-high-plus range, and the longer periods make the waves more powerful and more organized. Wind conditions remain the main variable. NNE is 27.1 percent and NE is 21.6 percent, but offshore wind from the S/SSW/SW/WSW quadrant appears around 9 percent of the time, often in the wake of low-pressure systems. Those are the days to drop everything and go. Air temps cool to 20.6°C, water temps are still pleasant at 21.7°C, and precipitation increases to 0.54mm/day.
