November: Winter Swell Returns in Earnest
November brings a significant step up in size and energy. Average swell is 2.4m (7.9ft) with an 11.4s period, and while ENE (14.4%), NE (13.1%) and NNE (12.7%) are still well represented, NNW swell pushes up to 12.1% and N to 5.9%. This mix means that Log Cabins can switch from trade-wind slop to a proper wintry NNW groundswell within a day. The best sessions happen when low pressure deepens off the southeastern U.S. coast, producing a long-period northwest pulse that hits the island with authority.
Winds favor offshore again: E 35.4%, ENE 30.4%, with ESE 7.3%; ideal wind is 23%. Water remains warm at 25.9°C, while air cools to 24.7°C. Rain increases to 2.22mm/day as fronts become more frequent. November marks the tipping point - winter is officially here.
