November: Building Winter Swell and Stormy Winds
November is a prime winter surf month, though it is rarely a clean one. Average swell height increases to 5-6ft (1.6m) and the average period extends to 6.6s. The wave rose shows an even, powerful spread from SSW all the way around to NNW, with the strongest single directional sources from NW at 9.9%, WSW at 9.7%, WNW at 8.7% and NNW at 9.1%. Many of these swells arrive in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) band, driven by deepening lows over the Atlantic and sometimes by gales in the North Sea itself. The wind field is dominated by SSW and SW at 13.3% and 11.6%, respectively, with S also adding 8.7%. This is hostile for a NW-facing beach, as SW and W winds produce onshore and cross-onshore conditions. Yet ideal offshore wind still occurs 14% of the time, often when a low moves east and a high builds in from the southwest. Those days can produce some of the autumn's best waves: lined-up, punchy 4-7ft (1.2-2.1m) surf under clearing skies. Water temp has fallen to 10.6°C, air averages 8.6°C, and precipitation reaches 2.71mm/day.
