Conditions at Flagler Beach in November
November: The Best Month on Average
November brings the highest average swell height of the year at 0.8m (2.6ft) and a solid 8.5s period, with the swell rose heavily weighted toward the productive east-northeast. ENE leads at 26.6%, E follows at 25.4%, NE adds 18.5%, and ESE drops to 9.8%. The wind pattern also becomes more favorable as synoptic systems strengthen: NNW (13.3%), NNE (11.3%), NE (9.1%), and NW (6.3%) dominate, but the frequency of true offshore west-quarter winds rises and ideal wind days jump to 22%. The combination of frequent cold fronts, developing nor'easters, and still-warm water (22.4°C/72°F) makes November the most consistent surf month at Flagler. Expect punchy 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) surf with occasional 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) pulses when a coastal low gets going. Precipitation drops to 2.06mm/day, making it one of the drier months too.
