Conditions at Arpoador in November
November: Summer Approaches, but South Swell Lingers
November is a familiar late-spring setup: average swell 1.3m (4-5ft) at 9.8s, with S (24%), SSE (25%) and SE (23%) all well represented. The wave heights can still be fun, especially on 1-2m (3-6ft) days, but the average period is slipping and the winter storm track is retracting. Ideal wind is 43%, and onshore SSW/SW flow becomes a regular afternoon nuisance. Precipitation nearly doubles to 6.72 mm/day, so expect passing showers. If you can find a window of N/NNE offshore wind and a lingering S swell, it's worth paddling out-but summer is clearly on the way.
