Conditions at Ofir in November
November: Winter's Charge
November settles into the winter rhythm, with Ofir averaging 2.4m (8ft) of swell at a period of 11.6 seconds. The swell window is full: NW at 19.4%, WNW at 16.6%, NNW at 11.8%, and W at 6.5%, with a notable contribution from SW/WSW (1.9% and 2.9%) as low pressure systems track closer to Portugal. Wave heights are firmly in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) class, and the bigger W/NW fetches produce heavy, grinding waves on the outer sandbars.
Wind reliability continues to improve, with ideal conditions at 49% of the time. The dominant wind is NNW at 13.3%, but E (9.0%), NNE (8.2%) and ESE (6.3%) create plenty of offshore windows. The classic late-autumn setup - a deep Atlantic low generating long-period W/NW swell while high pressure over Europe supplies offshore ENE/E/ESE winds - is gold at Ofir. Water temperature has cooled to 15.2°C, air averages 12.6°C, and November is the wettest month on average with 5.03mm/day of rain.
