November: Offshore Winds and Building North Atlantic Energy
November is one of the most consistent months of the year. Average swell height holds at 4ft (1.2m) and period is 7.3s, but the real story is the wind. WNW, NW and NNW are the three dominant directions, combining for roughly 36% of all wind observations and giving State's Avenue long stretches of offshore, groomed conditions. Ideal-wind frequency is 26%.
Swell direction is mixed - S/SSE/SE from the south and E/ENE from the east both contribute - with the favourable ESE/SE/SSE/S window at 33%. As the NAO trends negative, the Mid-Atlantic storm track can become very active, producing extended periods of E/SE swell with NW offshore wind. Air temperatures fall to 9.4°C, water temperature drops to 13.7°C, and the full winter suit comes back out. This is a high-quality, hard-charging surf month.
