Conditions at Newport in November
November: The Sea-Breeze Machine Revs Up
November is where summer begins to claim Newport. Favourable winds fall to 19%, average swell drops to 4ft (1.3m), and period shortens to 8.1s. The swell rose is almost too generous: ENE (18%), E (16%), ESE (15%), SE (17%) and SSE (20%) all fill the ocean with short-period, wind-influenced energy. The wind is the problem. NE (14%), NNE (11%), SSE (10%) and S (10%) dominate, while true offshore WSW-WNW flow is only about 11% of the wind rose. Water temperature climbs to 19.9°C and air is 19.9°C, so it feels like spring on the beach. Look for small windows around dawn, or a late southerly change swinging to the west, to find clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves among the increasingly lumpy surface.
