Conditions at Yumuri in November
November: The Atlantic Wakes Up
November marks a distinct jump in surf energy at Yumuri, with average heights climbing back to 3ft (1.0m) and periods steady at 6.3s. The biggest change is the swell mix: ENE still leads at 68%, but NE swell nearly doubles to 22%, signaling the return of more north-easterly energy from developing winter lows. This is also the month where the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) band becomes more common, and a few bigger ENE pulses reach 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) territory. The catch is the wind. ENE winds are strong again, blowing 40% of the time with frequent 20-40kph gusts, and ideal S/SW offshore flow drops to just 6%-one of the lower readings of the year. When a cold front sweeps through and the wind clocks offshore, November can serve up the best combination of size and shape seen since early spring. Water temperature is 27.8°C, air temps average 26.6°C, and precipitation is 2.89mm/day.
