Conditions at Satellite Beach in November
November: Peak Size and Storm Energy
November is statistically the biggest month of the year at this open east-facing stretch. Average swell height reaches 3ft (0.9m) and the period sits around 8.6s, while the favorable NE/ENE/E/ESE window supplies over 80% of the incoming wave energy. The real story is the increase in meaningful size: ENE contributes nearly 9% in the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) range, E adds almost 6%, and NE adds more than 6%, with 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and even 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) swell showing up more regularly as nor'easters and coastal lows form off the Carolinas and Florida coast. Cold fronts now arrive with more frequency, leading to westerly and west-northwesterly offshore windows, even though ideal wind is only 12%. Expect bigger, more powerful surf than any other month, with water temperature at 75F (23.9C) and relatively less rain.
