November: Windswell Season Cranked Up
November is all about late-autumn frontal energy. Average swell holds at 1.3m (4-5ft) and period sits at 6.9s - enough to make the sandbanks stand up, though rarely with the long-period class of mid-winter. WSW (18.9%) and SW (16.4%) lead the swell distribution, and the favourable SE/SSE/S/SSW quadrant is still strong at 17.5%. At 19%, November has the highest percentage of ideal offshore N/NNE/NW/NNW winds of the year, which is why some of the cleanest, most usable winter sessions sneak in this month. The downside is 3.40 mm/day of rain, the wettest average of the year, and air temps cooling to 10.9°C. Water temp drops to 12.9°C, so the wetsuit line-up is officially full winter. When the charts show a low tracking south of Iceland and a high nudging in from the Azores, Bournemouth can be surprisingly good.
