November: Winter Swell Returns in Earnest
The North Atlantic roars back to life in November. Average surf height climbs to around 5ft (1.5m), the average period holds at 10.0s, and the favorable N/NNE/NNW direction block jumps to roughly 36 percent of the swell spectrum - the best north-source ratio of the year. NNE alone contributes nearly 28 percent, giving Parking Lots the winter juice it needs to break out of the summer doldrums. When low-pressure systems are stacked across the western Atlantic, consistent NW/NNW pulses keep the north-facing bank alive for days at a time.
The catch is wind. Ideal offshore flow drops to 32 percent as the trades strengthen again. ENE/NE winds dominate the surface, so the trick is finding the dawn windows and the lighter S/SSW breezes. Air temperature cools to 27.4°C (81.3°F), water is 28.4°C (83.1°F), and rainfall is 4.26 mm/day. For those willing to work the forecast, November is a legitimate entry point into the winter season.
