Conditions at Las Salinas in November
November: Winter Swell Builds Toward Its Peak
November is where Las Salinas transitions from excellent to flat-out powerful. Average swell height climbs to 1.6m (5ft), the average period reaches 12.1s, and ideal wind conditions remain high at 30%. The North Atlantic storm track is now in full swing, and the wave rose reflects a mix of NNW (50.9%), NW (13.3%), N (13.2%) and NNE (8.8%) swells. The wind stays offshore and mostly moderate: NNE 26.6%, NE 21.3%, NNW 10.3% and N 7.0%. Unlike summer, the offshore flow is often light enough to keep the surfaces clean, so the long-period groundswell arrives with real shape. Water temperature drops to a still-comfortable 21.8°C, air temperature averages 21.0°C, and precipitation increases to 0.52mm/day as frontal systems become more frequent. This is a high-quality, consistent surf month with plenty of overhead potential on the sets.
