Conditions at Spiders in November
November: Full Storm Track Engagement
November is a serious winter month. The average swell height jumps to 6.5ft (2.0m), the mean period reaches 12.3s, and 57 percent of the time the wind is offshore and ideal. The North Atlantic low-pressure conveyor belt is firing, and it shows in the wave data: NNW and NW still dominate with 41.3 percent and 28.5 percent respectively, but the W/WNW/WSW piece grows to nearly 8 percent - the best mix we have seen since early spring. This is the time when a negative NAO pattern can drop storm after storm toward the coast of Morocco, producing heavy, lined-up surf at Spiders. Expect more rain, around 1.64mm/day, and cooler air around 18C, but the ocean is alive and water temp is still a manageable 18.4C. November can hang with the heart of winter.
