Conditions at Ferrugem in November
November: Pre-Summer Chop
November is the least consistent month of the year for wind. Ideal surf conditions fall to just 39%, the lowest on the calendar, and the average period drops to 8.5s. Swell height remains around 4.3ft (1.3m), with E and ESE combining for over 46% of all waves, so there is no shortage of swell - only a shortage of clean, organized wave faces. Most energy sits in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with occasional 5-6ft (1.5-2m) sets from E and ESE.
Winds are dominated by NNE (19.7%) and NE (12.6%), while the offshore W/NW block contributes only about 5%. This creates persistent onshore and cross-shore texture, shortening the waves and making them bouncy. Water temperature is warming at 22.1°C, air averages 20.4°C, and rain is moderate at 4.32 mm/day. November is best for fun, groveling sessions or for those rare windows when a strong cold front delivers SW/W wind over a declining E/SE swell.
