November: Raw Power in Prime Time
November is prime time for big Hvide Sande, right up there with January and December. The average swell height is 1.9m (6ft) and the period stretches to 7.1s, with the North Atlantic storm track fully engaged. The direction mix is slightly more westerly than midwinter: SW produces 8.1%, WSW 7.7%, W 6.8% and WNW 7.2%, combining for about 30% in the best window, while the W through NW sectors hold substantial amounts of 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) swell. Strong S/SSW winds are also frequent, which at Hvide Sande tends to push in slope and bump. Offshore flow from NE/ENE/E/ESE is decent at 21.2%, but the ideal score remains 8%. With the water falling to 9.0°C and air to 7.0°C, the setup is cold, raw and powerful. If you can catch a building swell with an easterly wind, this is some of the most challenging and rewarding North Sea surf of the year.
