Conditions at Langland Beach in November
November: Proper Winter Groundswell
November steps up significantly. Average swell height reaches 4ft (1.3m) and the average period stretches to 9.2s, bringing more power and push. The Atlantic is now firing on all cylinders; precipitation is high at 4.02 mm/day and air temperatures average 9.0°C. Swell direction is still west-heavy - WSW at 31.7% and W at 20.7% - but the SW, SSW and S swell window totals about 14%, and there are more 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) increments in the mix. With 14% ideal offshore winds, November is one of the better months for combining size and clean conditions.
Water temperature falls to 12.7°C, so a hooded 5/3 becomes standard. The first truly big days of the season can occur when a deep Atlantic low slows down west of Ireland and sends pulses of long-period SW swell. If the wind follows the classic post-frontal pattern into the NNW, Langland can hold heavy, grinding winter waves.
