Conditions at Low Island in November
November: Heavy Water Returns
November is one of Low Island's heaviest months. The average swell height climbs to 9.2ft (2.8m) with an 11.0s period, meaning thick, powerful lines are on tap for most of the month. WSW leads the swell directions at 13.3%, SW follows with 11.6%, and SSW adds 7.9%; the largest class of swell - over 8.2ft (2.5m) - appears regularly across the western half of the rose. This is serious, charging territory, especially on an exposed southwest-facing beach. Wind quality is still a mixed bag, with ideal offshore winds at 29% and E/ESE/SE flow dominating the rest of the time. Water temperature drops to 8.2°C (46.8°F), air temperatures average 4.5°C (40.1°F), and precipitation remains wet at 9.12mm/day. When the wind goes N/NE/E and the swell is from the WSW, Low Island can be one of the most powerful, riveting lineups in the region.
