Conditions at Bundoran in November
November: Storm Season Ignites
November marks a major step up in size and energy. The average swell height reaches 5ft (1.5m) with a long-period 11.6s pulse, and the wave rose is loaded with WNW, W and NW energy, including a healthy share of 1.5-2.5m waves. The Atlantic produces some of its most powerful, properly lined-up swells this month, and Bundoran's west-northwest exposure is primed to receive them with no shadowing to blunt the impact.
Clean windows still need to be picked carefully: ideal offshore wind occurs 29 percent of the time, with the best conditions coming from easterly/southeasterly high-pressure spells between low-pressure systems. Air temperatures drop to 6.9°C, water cools to 11.2°C, and rainfall averages 4.56mm per day - a raw, dynamic month that rewards those willing to battle the elements for serious Irish waves.
