Conditions at Prainha in November
November: Lumpy Spring Build
November continues the spring low season with similar frustration. The average swell height is 1.6m (5-6ft), the average period is 8.5s, and the wind is ideal only 23% of the time. Swell still fills in from the east quadrant, with east-northeast at 21.8%, east at 20.4%, east-southeast at 17.1%, and south-southeast at 12.9%. The size can be fun, but the short period and strong northeast trades, which make up 22.6% of all wind, keep the ocean lumpy and bumpy. Water temperature rises to 20.4°C, so it begins to feel like summer, but the waves lack the power and clean shape of winter. Early morning and storm-front windows are the only times worth paddling out.
