November: Winter Sets In
November is when the North Atlantic storm track begins to seriously load up again.

NNE contributes 16%, NE 38%, and ENE 36%, so a lot of the energy now has a straighter angle into the north-facing coast than during the summer months. Ideal wind comes in at 43%, with ESE trades still common but increasingly interrupted by S/SW offshore flow as cold fronts pass. Water temp is still warm at 28.2°C, air averages 26.4°C, and precipitation is the highest of the year at 3.1mm/day. For many surfers, November through January is the real sweet spot at Sosua.
