Conditions at Louro in November
November: Building North Atlantic Storms
November sees the North Atlantic storm track settle into its winter groove. Average swell height increases to 5ft (1.5m) and wave period reaches 10.9s, bringing persistent, powerful ground swell. W (17.7%), WNW (29.5%) and NW (18.6%) dominate the spectrum, while the preferred S-SSW-SW-WSW window holds at about 14.1%. NE (13.2%), NNE (10.6%) and ENE (8%) combine for solid offshore tendencies 41% of the time, but S (11.3%) and SSW (8.8%) winds remain common, especially before fronts. The swell to watch is the WSW to SW ground swell that follows a strong Atlantic low; with N/NE offshores, the result is a clean, hollow Louro. Water temperature cools to 15.2°C, air temps average 13.9°C, and rain increases to 5.93 mm/day.
