Conditions at El Mongol in November
November: Winter Reliability Sets In
November is one of the standout months at El Mongol. The average swell climbs to 5ft (1.6m) with an 11.7s period, and the strong NW and NNW window keeps the spot consistently exposed. Nearly 45% of swell comes from the NW, with another 20% from the NNW, and a healthy share reaches the 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) range. The wind distribution favours the surfer too: ideal S/SSW/SW winds are present 55% of the time, among the highest of the year, even though W, S and WSW are the most common individual wind directions. Air temperatures cool to 11.8°C, water drops to 15.3°C, and precipitation increases to 3.93mm/day as winter lows become more frequent. The result is powerful northwest groundswell with more clean offshore windows, and El Mongol can be genuinely heavy.
