The wind is ideal 50% of the time - especially during the frequent high-pressure cells to the north and east that funnel offshore NE/E flow. With water at 17.3C and air temperatures around 14.5C, autumn is crisp and wet (2.66mm/day). This is one of the most reliable months for quality, sizable waves at Arrifana.
