Conditions at Praia da Saudade in November
November: Building Brain, Onshore Bias
November is the most frustrating month of the year. Average swell height is still 0.9m (2-3ft) with an 8.0-second period, and the direction mix remains solidly in the E/ESE window: E (42%), ESE (32%), SE (17%), and SSE (5%), with ENE filling the rest. About 21% of the waves reach 3-5ft (1-1.5m), so the swell is not bad. The problem is the wind. Ideal wind ties for the yearly low at 14%, and the bad onshore ENE/E/ESE/SE sector peaks at about 38%. NE winds are the most common, with 18.8% of the total wind field, and offshore flow from WSW/W/WNW/NW is only about 4%. Water temperature warms to 23.2°C, air averages 20.9°C, and precipitation is 5.31 mm/day. November requires a strong frontal push to break the trade-wind lock and deliver the clean E/SE swell the spot is capable of.
