Conditions at Itapeva in November
November: Spring Onshore Rut
November locks in the worst wind pattern of the year for Itapeva. The average swell height is still respectable at 1.6m (5.3ft), but the period is only 8.5s and the wind is ideal just 16 percent of the time. The coastal wind regime is dominated by NE at 29.0 percent and ENE at 13.2 percent, which means the ocean is usually a bumpy, windblown mess by mid-morning. The swell spectrum still favours the east: ENE at 21.8 percent, E at 20.4 percent, ESE at 17.1 percent, SSE at 12.9 percent and SE at 12.5 percent, so there is no shortage of waves, just a shortage of clean ones. November is the southern hemisphere spring, and the increasingly intense spring sun strengthens the sea breeze cycle. Water temperature climbs to 20.4°C with air at 19.3°C. Patience is required, but the right W/NW offshore day can still turn those E/SE pulses into fun, rippable waves.
