November: Storm Season in Full Swing
November brings a significant increase in both size and energy. The average swell height reaches 2.6m (8.5ft), the period is a solid 12.0s, and ideal wind remains high at 30%. The dominant swell directions are WNW (15.3%), NW (13.4%), and NNW (11.7%), but there is also plenty of N/NNE/NE activity, showing that the Atlantic storm track is well and truly open. The wind distribution is the most favorable of the autumn: SSW (11.9%), S (9.8%), and SW (9.3%) combine for about 31%, and these often accompany the weather fronts that roll through. November is one of the wettest months (4.87mm/day), with air temps cooling to 11.5C and water temps dropping to 15.1C. The combination of long-period NW swell and offshore S/SW wind is money. Expect heavy sessions, occasional bigger sets, and all the raw power that makes this stretch of Spain so famous.
