Conditions at Somo in November
November: Big Swell Season Hits Full Stride
November delivers full-blown late-autumn intensity. Average swell height reaches 6ft (1.9m), average period 11.9s, and ideal wind 49%. The NW sector controls the sea state - NW 40.9%, WNW 17.1%, and NNW 12.8% - with a serious amount of energy concentrated between 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m). These are the swells that turn Somo's sandbars into punchy, hollow peaks. The wind is increasingly mobile, with W/WNW frontal winds and strong S/SSW pre-frontal flows. The weather is wet - precipitation peaks at 4.45mm/day - and air temps fall to 12.6°C, while water temp drops to 16.0°C. Keep an eye on the pressure charts: when a deep-Atlantic low aligns with a high over central Europe, the resulting SSE-SSW offshore winds can produce near-perfect conditions.
