Conditions at Lake Worth in November
November: Winter Groundswell Season
November is the true start of the best period for Lake Worth. Average swell heights reach their seasonal peak at 1.3m (4.3ft), with periods holding at 8.2s. The swell direction is dominated by NE (28.9%) and ENE (24.0%), with a significant NNE (14.3%) component as Nor'easters and continental fronts become more common. The ideal wind percentage improves to 19% as the westerly offshore wind pattern strengthens. The cooler air (average 23.5°C) marks the transition to winter, and the water is still a reasonably warm 27.0°C. Precipitation is lower at 2.62 mm/day, meaning clearer skies and more consistent surf. This is when those classic long-period pulses from the North Atlantic start to show up, and when they coincide with a SW or W wind, the beach break at Lake Worth turns seriously fun - clean, rippable, and consistent. Get your boardshorts out; November is magic.
