November: Building Storm Energy
November is a full winter month in disguise. Average swell height reaches 4-5ft (1.4m), period builds to 8.1s, and the Atlantic delivers consistent pulses of powerful groundswell. The westerly directions remain at the heart of the action: WSW leads at 22.7 percent, SW at 15.6 percent, W at 11.0 percent and SSW at 7.2 percent, with strong representation in the 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m classes. The wind rose still favours onshore flow, with SSW-SW-WSW-W directions at about 34 percent, while ideal offshore wind sits at 8 percent. The growing frequency of deep low pressure systems means more energy, but also more squalls and rain. November is the wettest month at Newgale with 4.73 mm/day average precipitation, air temperatures average 9.7°C, and the water cools to 12.8°C. The reward for battling the elements is a beach that starts to fire with hollow, powerful waves on every solid westerly Atlantic swell.
