Conditions at Cabo do Mundo in November
November: Prime Time in Portugal
November is a serious month for surf at Cabo do Mundo. Average swell height builds to 7-8ft (2.3m) and the period stretches to 11.8s, meaning consistent, powerful groundswell from the deep North Atlantic. The swell rose is dominated by NW (22.5%), WNW (18.7%) and NNW (11.6%), with W (7.0%) and even SW/SSW influencing some swells. This directional spread is great for a west-facing beach, as nearly every pulse carries west or north-west energy. Wind is ideal 46% of the time, one of the highest percentages of the year. E and ESE winds are common when high pressure builds over Iberia, grooming the swell into clean, well-ordered lines. Rain increases to 4.77 mm/day and water temperature cools to 15.5°C, but the trade-off is heavy, long-period surf. November is prime time.
