Conditions at Llangennith in November
November: Full-On Storm Season and Serious Groundswell
November is where Llangennith's reputation is forged. Average swell height climbs to 4-5ft (1.3m) and the period expands to 9.2s, but there are plenty of days in the 6-8ft (2-2.5m) and larger range as North Atlantic lows deepen and march across the UK. The swell rose is more mixed than midwinter: WSW is still the prime direction at 31.7%, W adds 20.7%, SW adds 9.4% and WNW adds 7.2%, giving the beach exposure to nearly every western angle. Wind is the main obstacle, with ideal offshore wind at 6% and strong WSW-W winds common during the frequent storm tracks. Rain increases to 4.46mm/day, air temperatures average 10.1°C, and water temperature drops to 12.4°C. It is raw, changeable and often challenging, but the sandbar peaks at Llangennith can turn on when a passing low leaves behind a fresh W/SW groundswell and the wind tucks around to the offshore east.
