Conditions at Guarda do Embau in November
November: The Pre-Summer Lull
November is one of the most unreliable months. Average swell height remains a serviceable 4.3ft (1.3m), but period drops to 8.5s and the E/ESE windswell pattern takes over: E 24.2%, ESE 21.9%, ENE 18.6%, SE 14.4%, SSE 11.5%, and S 4.4%. The south groundswell component is fading fast, and most of the energy is short-period swell generated by the strengthening South Atlantic High.
Offshore wind is at its lowest percentage of the year, just 14%. NNE (24.9%) and NE (11.8%) winds dominate, creating cross-shore to onshore chop on the east-facing banks. Water is warming to 22.1°C, air averages 20.4°C, and rain is 4.32 mm/day. November is a month for groveling on 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) peaks in the morning before the NE seabreeze ruins it, unless a rare early-summer S pulse sneaks through.
