Conditions at Xivares in November
November: Winter Warm-Up
November delivers the goods. Average swell height rises to 5.2ft (1.6m) and the period climbs to 11.8s, pushing into the powerful long-period bracket. The swell train is a mix of NW (44.1%), NNW (20.8%), and WNW (13.2%), with an increasing share of 1.5-2.5m waves - just what you want on an exposed north-facing beach. The wind is ideal 55% of the time, with S (10.4%), SSW (6.7%), SW (7.3%), and WSW (9.9%) offering plenty of offshore options. As low-pressure systems march across the Atlantic, the pressure gradient tightens and the surf really rumbles. Air temps drop to 11.8°C, water cools to 15.3°C, and precipitation is the highest of the year at 3.93 mm/day - the trade-off for such dynamic conditions. This is a month where epic, lined-up walls are on the table.
