November is the middle of the storm season and the depressions are at their most frequent. Over the course of the month every side of Reykjanes gets something, which is as close to a guarantee as this coast offers.
What it costs is margin. The day holds one usable block instead of three, so the wind has to be right at the same time the swell is, and if it is not you wait until tomorrow. The water is down to 8°C on its way to the winter floor. A week here gives five or six real chances and the discipline is to be ready for all of them, because the one you skip is the one that was good.
