Conditions at Arish in November

November: Prime Time Arrives

By November, the North Atlantic is roaring again and Arish is firing on all cylinders. The average swell height is 1.4m (4.5-5ft), the average period jumps to 11.3s, and the ideal wind percentage reaches 48%, tying with December for the best consistency of the year. NNW swell dominates with 50% of the energy, NW adds another 20%, and N contributes 18%, while the true W/SW windows remain rare. The important difference from summer is the period and the wind: long-period groundswell wraps into the WSW-facing coast with real power, and the NE/E trade wind pattern is strong enough to groom the faces but not so strong that it ruins every session.

This is one of the most reliable months for scoring lined-up, head-high-to-overhead surf under offshore winds. The desert air is cooling, averaging 20.3°C, the water is still warm at 19.6°C, and the precipitation remains minimal. If you are planning a trip to Arish, November should be at the top of the list.
