Conditions at Artiglieria in November
November: Prime Time at Artiglieria
November is arguably the best month of the year. The average swell height reaches 2.3ft (0.7m), the period climbs to 5.8s, and ideal offshore wind frequency increases to 15%. Swell directions are still clustered in the productive quadrant - WSW (18.8%), W (13.9%), SSW (13.3%) and SW (12.1%) - but there is more spread, which helps fill gaps between swells. The Mediterranean storm track is at its most active, with frequent lows crossing the Gulf of Genoa and the Tyrrhenian. Precipitation averages 3.81 mm/day, the wettest month, so expect frequent frontal passages. When the low clears and pressure rises, NNO/NO/ONO/O winds blow offshore and the swell lines clean up into 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) faces. Water temperature is still rideable at 19.1°C and air averages 12.1°C, making for crisp, powerful autumn surf sessions.
