Conditions at Gibara in November
November: Building Back Up
November is when Gibara starts to wake up properly. Average swell height climbs back to 1.2m (4ft), period holds at 6.3s, and ideal wind reaches 6%. The swell window is well distributed: ENE supplies 44.7%, E 24.4% and NE 18.9%, including a decent percentage of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) waves. This is still trade-wind-dominated surf, but there is more size and push than in the summer months. The onshore trade winds remain the limiting factor, with ENE at 34.6% and E at 28.6%, but the higher ideal-wind number reflects more frequent cold-front passages that can briefly deliver SW-W offshores. Water temps are 27.4°C, air temps 25.9°C, and precipitation drops to 2.04 mm/day. November offers the first real hope of clean, semi-powerful winter surf.
