Conditions at Gilleleje Havn in November
November: Cold, Stormy and Occasionally Clean
November is a serious winter month in Denmark. Average swell height is around 1.5-2ft (0.5m), average period 4.0s, and ideal surfing wind still only 1 per cent of the time. The storm track is active, but the direction distribution is dominated by SW, WSW, SSW and W, with a stronger showing from SSE/SE than later in winter. For the NNE-facing beach, the optimum N-NNE-NE-NNW sector is still a modest slice of the overall energy, and the larger wave heights tend to ride SW/WSW winds, which do not face the harbour properly. Wind patterns are increasingly SW/SSW/WSW, meaning there are clean offshore stretches between storms. However, the surf that fills in during those stretches is usually short-period windswell. Air temperatures fall to 5.3°C, water temperature drops to 8.3°C, and precipitation is about 2.3mm/day. Bring the thick hooded wetsuit; November is for the committed.
