Conditions at Praia da Macumba in November
November: Transition Back to Summer Smallness
November is a return to smaller, less consistent conditions. Average swell height holds at 1.1m (3.5ft) but the period shrinks to 9.9s, reducing the raw power. S (29.3%) and SSE (28.4%) swells are still present, but SE (24.5%) and ESE (13.7%) are nearly as important, resulting in shorter-period, often wind-affected swell. The height distribution is split between 0.5-1m (2-3ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft), with very little overhead energy. Ideal wind is poor at 37%, and the NE/E trades are persistent, meaning the surf frequently looks better on the forecast than in the water. The weather is warming up: air temps average 23.4°C, water temp is 20.3°C, and rainfall jumps to 6.8mm/day as the summer rainy season begins. Only the morning offshores can give Macumba a much-needed clean-up.
