Conditions at Pedrogao in November
November: Storm-Track Surge with Serious Offshore Windows
November is one of the most consistent months of the year at Pedrogão. The average wave height rises to 7ft (2.1m), and the average period sits at 12.0s, giving the surf a thick, powerful feel. Swell comes from a healthy mix of the northwest and west-northwest: NW 27.7%, WNW 20.6%, NNW 12.6%, W 6.7%, and WSW 2.5%. With a large percentage of waves in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range and a scattering of bigger sets, there is nearly always something to paddle into. Ideal wind improves to 30%, as synoptic-scale high pressure brings offshore E/SE winds between frontal passages. NNW is still common at 14.9%, but the wind is more varied than in summer. Air temperatures average 12.8°C (range 1.4 to 24.9°C), precipitation is at its wettest with 3.98 mm/day, and water temperature drops to 16.5°C. Stormy, powerful, and often offshore; this is proper Portuguese beach-break surfing.
