Conditions at Playa de la Garita in November
November: Building Winter Swell
November brings a clear step up in size and power. Average wave height rises to 5ft (1.5m), period to 11.7s, and the source region shifts deeper into the North Atlantic. NNW swells remain the anchor at 33.9%, with NNE at 22.2%, N at 15.7% and NW at 11.8% all contributing, while the westerly component from WNW/W/WSW/SW expands to around 7%-a promising sign for direction-sensitive Garita. The wind is more variable now: NNE/NE trades still dominate around 49% of the time, but frontal systems bring shifting W/NW winds. Ideal offshore flow sits at 12%, so patience is required. When it comes together, expect solid 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) groundswell with real hold. Water is 21.7°C, air 20.6°C, and rain increases to 0.54 mm/day.
