November: The Turning Point
November is when Assinie starts to fire on all cylinders again. The average swell height is a clean 3ft (1.0m) and the period holds at 10.8s, while the direction distribution is the most S-dominant of the entire year: 88.6% S, 10.7% SSW and a small 0.7% SSE. There is a healthy mix of 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves, with 43.4% of S energy in the 3-5ft range, perfect for the sandbars. Ideal wind conditions rise to 6%, and although SSW (26.1%) and SW (22.3%) still top the wind rose, the overall wind strength has dropped dramatically, with only tiny percentages in the 10-20kph bracket.
Water temperature is a warm 28.6°C, air temperature is 26.9°C and rainfall drops to 3.05mm/day. This month brings some of the first genuinely clean, glassy sessions since early summer, and with the South Atlantic still kicking up long-period groundswell, the potential is high.
