Conditions at Itapiruba in November
November: A Blooming Spring Grind
November is the toughest month for consistent quality at Itapiruba. Average swell height remains respectable at 5ft (1.6m), but the average period drops to 8.7s and ideal wind conditions fall to 33%, the lowest of the year. The swell rose is still dominated by ENE (17.1%), E (17.4%), ESE (16.6%), SE (13.4%) and SSE (12.9%), so there is no shortage of waves. The issue is that much of this energy is shorter-period, easterly windswell that handles poorly under the prevailing cross-shore winds.
NNE (22.4%) and NE (19.6%) winds are the dominant players, frequently blowing in the 10-30kph range and putting texture on the face. SSW (9.1%) and SW (7.0%) offer occasional relief, but the offshore window is small. Water temperature is on the rise at 21.7°C and air at 21.6°C, signaling the transition back to summer. Rains are moderate at 3.68mm/day. November is a quantity-over-quality month, so target early-morning glass or wait for a south swell that arrives with a SW shift.
