Conditions at Amoreira in November
November: Consistent Autumn-Winter Power
November solidifies the transition into prime season. Average surf height reaches 7ft (2.2m) with a strong 12.1-second period. The wave rose shows NW at 30.1 percent and WNW at 17.1 percent leading the way, with NNW at 13.2 percent and W at 5.3 percent adding good exposure. Storms and frontal systems are now parading across the North Atlantic on a regular basis, so the interval between swell events is short and the beach rarely goes flat. Ideal wind windows jump to 32 percent, helped by more frequent post-frontal high pressure and lighter southerly/easterly flow. NNW winds remain common at 20.3 percent, but the wind field is far more balanced than in summer. Water temperature is 17.3°C, air averages 14.5°C, and rainfall increases to 2.66mm/day, making it one of the wettest months. A solid autumn wetsuit is mandatory, and the consistent size means plenty of barrels on the better sandbars.
