Conditions at Pigsty in November
November: Prime Time
November is one of the best months of the year at Pigsty. The average swell reaches 4-5ft (1.4m) with a healthy 8.0s period, and those deep Atlantic lows are now aimed straight at Norway. The swell direction is a blend of long-fetch W-NW groundswell and secondary SW/SSW pulses, keeping the beach busy. Most importantly, offshore flow potential is at its annual peak - the E, ESE and SE directions combine for over 28 percent of all wind, often when a Scandinavian high anchors itself over the North Sea. Ideal surfable wind runs at 13 percent. With air temperatures cooling to 5.5°C and water dropping to 10.0°C, the atmosphere is getting crisp. When the wind and swell line up, Pigsty can hold solid, firing 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) waves.
