Conditions at Sao Juliao in November
November: Full Winter Rhythm
November is deep in the winter groove. Average swell height reaches 2.3m (7.5ft) with a solid 12.0s period, and the dominant swell directions are NW (23.7%), NNW (17.4%), WNW (15.6%), and W (5.6%), giving the beach an almost constant dose of quality groundswell. The wind pattern continues to improve for surfers: ideal offshore winds occur about 22% of the time, with ENE, E, ESE, and SE all contributing as high pressure builds between storms. At the same time, NNW winds are less dominant (15.2%) than in summer, and the storm track is fully active. The result is a month with real power on offer - expect proper 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) days and occasional bigger sets when the Atlantic lows align. Water temperature drops to 16.6°C, air temps average 14.5°C, and precipitation is the year's highest at 3.07 mm/day. Time to get serious.
