November: Winter Swell Returns
November sees the real winter engine switch on. Average swell height holds at 4ft (1.3m) and the period crosses back into the powerful 10-second-plus class at exactly 10.0 seconds. The wave rose is driven by WNW at 33.8 per cent, W at 16.2 per cent, NW at 10.1 per cent and WSW at 6.7 per cent, giving west-facing Cadiz a near-continuous feed of Atlantic groundswell. The distribution is much more balanced across the 2-3ft (0.5-1m), 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) size classes, and the bigger end of the spectrum begins to reappear in the W/WNW data.
Wind-wise, November is promising: ideal surfing conditions occur 35 per cent of the time, one of the best ratios of the year. ESE is the leading wind at 12.4 per cent, while NNW and NNE are also frequent; westerly onshore days are present but less dominant. Water temp cools to 17.7°C, air to 15.9°C and rain increases to 2.95mm/day - the classic onset of the wet season and high-quality surf along the Andalusian coast.
