Conditions at Saunton Sands in November
November: Building Winter Muscle
November sees winter arrive in earnest. Average swell height rises to 6.2ft (1.9m), period to 9.9 seconds, and the W/WSW combination accounts for 41.4% of all swell. Many days fall in the punchy 4-8ft (1.2-2.4m) range, with enough period to wrap cleanly into the bay. Air temperatures drop to 9.5°C, water cools to 12.6°C, and rain climbs to 4.2mm/day as weather systems accelerate. Ideal offshore wind holds at 20%, but the mid-latitude timing provides more opportunities for morning easterlies between fronts. November is raw, dynamic and often overshadowed by December - yet the combination of strong swell, colder air and good sandbar shape makes it one of the most consistent months for experienced surfers chasing power at Saunton.
