Conditions at Moneglia in November
November: Storm Season Bites
November is one of the most dynamic months for Moneglia. Average swell is solid at 0.8m (2.6ft), average period stretches to 5.8s, and ideal offshore winds occur 22% of the time. SW still dominates at 26%, but the directional spread is broader, with SE and SSE adding nearly 18% combined. This is a sign of complex low-pressure systems swinging through the western Mediterranean, producing a mix of south and southeast swell that Moneglia tries to filter through its SSW-facing coast. The cleanest conditions come after a cold front, when the wind shifts from S/SW to N/NE and the sea settles into crisp lines. November is also the wettest month, with 4.68 mm/day of precipitation, and water temp drops to 17.9°C. Expect occasional 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) pulses and the occasional heavy barrel profile if you find the right bank during a strong Genoa low.
