Conditions at Praia Grande in November
November: Autumn's Heavyweight Month
November deepens the winter mood. Average wave height climbs to 7.5ft (2.3m) and period to 12.0 seconds, and the swell mix is dominated by NW at 23.7 percent, NNW at 17.4 percent, WNW at 15.6 percent, and W at 5.6 percent. The Atlantic is now producing strong, long-period groundswell with serious power; many days are in the pumping 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) range, and a significant share goes overhead-plus. Wind statistics improve further: ideal offshore wind is 21 percent, making November one of the cleanest big-wave months of the year. NNW is still the most common wind at 17.1 percent, but NNE at 10.5 percent and N at 8.5 percent also contribute; a proper easterly or southeast wind now appears more regularly, delivering glassy surfaces. Rain is the highest of the year at 3.07 mm/day, air temperatures cool to 14.5°C (min 3.9°C, max 23.5°C), and water temperature is still a mild 17.0°C. November is a serious surf month, with plenty of heavy, grinding Praia Grande sessions.
