Conditions at Praia da Vila in November
November: Pre-Summer Slop Sets In
November marks the transition toward summer as the South Atlantic high reasserts its grip. The average swell height eases to 1.3m (4ft), period shortens to 8.5s, and ideal wind drops to 37%, the lowest of the year. The swell field is dominated by E at 24.2%, ESE at 21.9%, ENE at 18.6%, SE at 14.4% and SSE at 11.5%, while S swell fades to 4.4%. This creates mostly short-period, wind-driven waves in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range - fun for a grovel but lacking the heavy push of winter. Air temps warm to 20.4°C and water to 21.7°C, while rain is 4.32mm/day. Persistent NE/NNE winds make conditions challenging, but NW/NNW offshore windows after cold fronts can still turn on.
