Conditions at Cabedelo de Viana in November
November: Prime Storm Surf
November is one of the most reliable months for big surf on the Iberian northwest coast. Average swell height climbs to 2.4m (7.9ft), average period holds at 11.6s, and the North Atlantic is generating powerful long-period swells on an almost weekly basis. NW and WNW groundswell fill the charts, with S/SSW/SW/WSW also contributing a slightly higher share - enough to give Cabedelo more sessions inside its optimal swell window. The wind becomes more of a lottery: 53 percent ideal, with NNE offshore flow at 10.5 percent, but frequent S and SSE winds that can mess up the surface. This is a month for wetsuits, storm fronts and sandbar perfection. Water temperature drops to 15.2°C, air temps average 12.6°C, and November is the wettest month of the year with 5.03 mm/day of rain. When a low pressure system parks off Portugal, Cabedelo can turn into a serious, heavy, world-class stretch of beach.
