Conditions at Tolcarne in November
November: Winter Power Locked In
November settles into a serious winter rhythm. Average swell height climbs to 6ft (1.8m) and period reaches 11.0 seconds, with W at 31%, WNW at 14% and WSW at 13%. The bulk of the waves arrive in the 4-8ft (1.2-2.4m) range, and the longer periods make for a much more powerful, organized wave. When low pressure deepens rapidly off Newfoundland, Tolcarne feels every bit of that North Atlantic energy.
Offshore wind blows 22% of the time, with the SW/WSW sector doing most of the heavy lifting. Air and water temperatures drop noticeably - air averages 10.6°C, water temp 13.0°C - while precipitation peaks at 4.26 mm/day. This is not a month for fair-weather surfers; it is about commitment, thick rubber and watching the forecast for the next big clean swell window.
