Conditions at Cantinho da Baia in November
November: Deep-Water Groundswell Builds
November delivers the first serious winter swells. Average height rises to 2.5m (8.2ft) with a 12.1-second period, and the NW (20.6%), NNW (15.9%), and WNW (13.5%) directions funnel the ocean's energy straight into the beach. Wind patterns become increasingly favourable: NNW is down to 16.2%, while the offshore E/ESE/SE/SSE quadrant pushes back strongly, producing 30% ideal surf days. Big lows moving off the North American seaboard send long-period groundswell across the Atlantic, and the uptick in rainfall (3.39 mm/day) signals the return of regular frontal systems. Water temp is still a manageable 16.7°C. November is a classic month for confident surfers looking for power, size, and clean offshore sessions.
