Conditions at Praia Azul in November
November: Storm Track Prime Time
November delivers the full-force Atlantic season. The average swell height builds to around 7-8ft (2.1-2.4m) and the period climbs to 11.6s, with the biggest energy coming from WNW and NW. The 2-2.5m class is again well represented, and many storms parked east of Greenland or west of Ireland fire long-lasting, clean swell trains toward Iberia. The wind story is almost as good as the swell: ideal offshore flow is 45%, and the eastern quadrant is the most frequent offshore source. Expect more rain too, with 5.03 mm/day and water temperatures cooling to 15.3°C. This is the month for picking off solid, well-overhead days at Praia Azul. When the pressure gradient sets up with a strong Azores High and a low-pressure trough to the north, the waves can be both big and clean.
