Conditions at Wangerooge in November
November: Punchy Autumn Groundswell
November keeps the autumn swell momentum going. Average height is around 5ft (1.5m) with a period of 6.3s, and the swell rose is led by NW (11.6 percent), WSW (10.7 percent), W (9.6 percent) and WNW (9.7 percent). Strong SW/WSW swells are common as Atlantic lows race across the British Isles, but the direction is less ideal for Wangerooge than a good N/NE fetch. Wind statistics lean heavily toward the S/SW quadrant: SSW (13.1 percent), SW (12.2 percent), S (8.7 percent) and WSW (8.7 percent) combine, though speeds are often strong, restricting ideal wind to 13 percent. Water temperature drops to 10.0C, air to 8.0C, and precipitation is high at 2.70 mm/day. When an active low parks over southern Scandinavia, the southwesterly flow turns offshore and the north-facing beach can see some of the punchiest, heaviest surf of the season, albeit in raw and stormy conditions.
