Conditions at Fonte da Telha in November
November: Consistent and Chunky
November is arguably the most consistent month on the calendar for Fonte da Telha. Average swell size climbs to 1.7m (5-6ft) and the period reaches 11.9s as multiple North Atlantic low-pressure systems pull the trigger. The swell direction is split beautifully between WNW (30.0%), NW (30.4%) and W (10.9%), with WSW (4.2%) and SW (1.8%) adding more of the optimal southerly angles. Offshore wind clocks in 30% of the time, and generous NNE/NE/ENE/E flow accompanies the frequent post-frontal high-pressure ridges. Yes, rain is high at 3.01 mm/day and air temperatures cool to 15.6°C, but the windows between storms are often gold: strong westerly groundswell, offshore easterly wind, and groomed peaks. Water temperature is still workable at 16.9°C. November is a serious surf month on the Lisbon coast.
