Conditions at Praia dos Molhes in November
November: Running into Summer Slop
November continues the slide into the summer tradewind pattern. Average wave height remains 5.2ft (1.6m), but period compresses to 8.5s and ideal wind is just 21%. The wind rose is dominated by NE (22.6%), ENE (14.7%), and NNE (11.1%) - all bad directions for the east-southeast-facing beach. Swell is mostly from ENE (21.8%), E (20.4%), and ESE (17.1%), meaning short-period, locally generated windswell dominates. Long-period groundswell is rare, and when it does arrive it often gets chopped up by onshore winds. Offshore flow from the WSW-WNW sector is only around 5.9% of the time. Water temperature warms to 20.4°C and air temps average 19.3°C. It is the beginning of the summer grovel season, with occasional fun waves but very little consistency.
