Conditions at Coxos in November
November: Winter Mode Engaged
November is full-on Atlantic winter. Average swell height rises to around 7.5ft (2.3m), the period holds at a strong 12.0 seconds, and ideal wind is up to 23 percent. The directional spread broadens: NW delivers 23.7 percent, NNW 17.4 percent, WNW 15.6 percent and W 5.6 percent, with a noticeable increase in SSW and SW energy compared to October. That extra south-west component can hit Coxos almost directly, creating some of the heaviest and most consistent surf of the year. The wind regime is favorable too: NNE and NNW are frequent, but the eastern quadrant, NE through ESE, makes up a large part of the offshore flow, keeping the beach clean between frontal passages. When lows push close, SW wind and rain can turn the ocean to soup, so pick the windows. Water temperature drops to 16.6°C, air averages 14.5°C, and precipitation reaches 3.07 mm/day, the wettest month on average. November is not for the faint of heart, but it is made for Coxos.
