Conditions at Bantham in November
November: Storm Season Is in Full Swing
November delivers consistent and strong conditions. The average wave height is around 6ft (1.9m) with a period of 8.6s, and the swell direction mix is classic Bantham: WSW (20.6%), W (12.6%), SW (10.0%), with a good spread of 3-8ft (1-2.5m) waves. The wind ratio, though, is not your friend - ideal offshore flow is just 13%. Westerly and southwesterly winds (WSW, SW, W) combine for 31% of all wind readings, and they tend to be fresh to strong, often 20-40kph, so the surface is frequently workable but bumpy. The payoff is the occasional deep cold front that ushers in a cleaner WNW/NW wind gradient and some heavy, racy swells. With air temps at 9.2°C, water at 13.1°C, and 4.08mm/day rain, surf sessions are for the hardened only. Yet for those who score a day with a light easterly breeze, Bantham is as good as it gets in the UK - strong, hollow peaks on the low-tide bank.
