Conditions at Serapo in November
November: Serious Pickup
November really opens the winter window. Average height rises to 2-3ft (0.8m), period 5.4s, and ideal wind hits 35 percent, making it one of the most surfable months on the calendar. The swell rose is full: W still leads at 16 percent, WSW near 13 percent, and SW 10 percent, but S and SSW sectors together reach 17 percent, giving Serapo plenty of opportunities for clean, open-facing waves. Periods in the 6-9s range become common behind autumn lows, although the baseline average is still dominated by local windswell. Wind is often from ENE to NE during the swell peaks, and when it flips to N or NNW the surface cleans right up. November is also the wettest month, with precipitation averaging 4.08mm/day, and water temp is cooling to 19.1°C (66.4°F). Expect classic Mediterranean storm-cloud surfs, with the best waves on the back side of fronts.
