Conditions at Saltburn in November
November: Winter's Form Horse
November solidifies the winter pattern. Average swell height rides at 4.6ft (1.4m) with a period of 7.7s, and the wave rose is loaded with optimal directions: NNW (11.5%), NNE (9.6%), N (7.5%) and NE (5.0%). The long-fetch north and north-easterly swells are more frequent now, often generated by intense lows swinging between Iceland and Norway.
The wind is still your friend. S (10.0%), SSW (12.4%), SW (12.4%) and WSW (10.9%) keep the offshore total above 41%. Onshore N-NNE flow is the exception, not the rule. The water temperature has cooled to 10.6°C and air temperatures average 6.3°C, with the wettest month at 2.65mm/day. It's cold, dark and proper-but for the surfer who wants power and consistency, November is right up there with January.
