Conditions at Uliss in November
November: Plenty of North Wind, Not Enough South Swell
November feels like winter is closing in. The Siberian High is building, and NNW winds dominate the wind rose at 33.6%, with N 11.1% and NW 8.8%; total offshore flow is around 58%. At the same time, the swell direction becomes dominated by the north again - NNW 23.5%, N 10.5% and NW 6.9% - which does nothing for a SSE-facing beach. The useful southern directions are limited to SSW 15.1%, S 8.8%, SSE 4.9% and SE 2.5%, just over 31% of observations. Average height is about 2.3ft (0.7m), but the period is 5.0s, so the energy is steep and short-period. Water temp drops to 7.2°C, air temps average 1.1°C, and precipitation falls to 1.09 mm/day. Ideal surf is around 5%. The rare SSW pulse combined with an offshore NNW wind can produce a few clean but weak waves; otherwise November is a waiting game.
