Conditions at Bakio in November
November: Full Autumn Power
November is prime time at Bakio. The average swell height jumps to 1.8m (6ft) with an 11.8s period, and the North Atlantic storm track is now fully active. NW leads the swell at 34.8 percent, but WNW at 21.4 percent and NNW at 11.1 percent add valuable directional spread, so the bay never becomes one-dimensional. The wave-height distribution is meaty: NW has 11.5 percent in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class and 8.1 percent in the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) class, while WNW adds another 6.1 percent and 4.8 percent in those same bands. That means plenty of head-high to well-overhead surf. Ideal offshore wind sits at 27 percent, with S and SSW combining for more than 21 percent of the wind distribution, so clean windows are common between frontal passages. Air temperatures cool to 12.9°C, water temperature is 16.2°C, and November is the wettest month with 4.87mm/day. When the storms align, Bakio is serious.
