Conditions at Rabo de Peixe in November
November: Atlantic Fury Returns in Earnest
November doesn't waste any time. The average swell jumps to 8ft (2.5m) and the period stretches to 11.6 seconds. The swell rose continues to favor NNW (15.1%), NW (8.4%) and WNW (6.6%), but there is also a noticeably higher share of overhead-plus waves in the 2.5m+ category, especially from NW and NNW. Rabo de Peixe is now catching the full brunt of mid-latitude cyclones. The snag is wind: ideal offshore conditions drop to 24 percent, one of the lowest of the year, because the ferocious lows bring strong WSW and NW winds along with the swell. In fact, the wind rose is a tug-of-war between SW/WSW (good) and NNW/NW (bad). If you can find a day with 12-second NNW groundswell and a light southwesterly morning breeze, you're in for a serious session. Water is 19.2°C, air is 18.1°C, and rain is frequent at 2.36 mm/day as fronts roll through.
