November: Nor'easter Season Ramps Up
November is where the seasonal push really takes hold. Average swell height holds at 0.7m (2.3ft), period is 6.5s and ideal wind is 5%, but the storm track is active and the potential for larger waves is increasing. E, ESE, SE and SSE swell directions combine for 34.5% of observations, while S adds another 8.9%. W, WNW, NW and NNW winds are prominent at just over 40% of the wind distribution, yet many of those winds are strong, cold and gusty. The first significant Nor'easters of the season can set up 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) plus conditions on the sandbars, especially when the low pressure stalls just south of Long Island. Water temperature drops to 12.7°C and air averages 10.2°C, so the surf season is now fully alive. It is raw, wet and occasionally messy, but the best waves of the year are starting to line up.
