Conditions at Sesimbra in November
November: Storm Season Ignition
November doubles down on autumn's progress. Average surf is around 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) and the average period jumps to 11.9s. WNW and NW swells each account for roughly 30% of the wave rose, and the west contribution is solid at 11%. At Sesimbra, long-period groundswell becomes more frequent, and a true SSW/SW swell - though still rare at about 3% of the total - can now deliver peaky, head-high-plus waves directly onto the beach. Ideal wind sits at 46%, with NNW, NNE and NE all well represented. Water temp cools to 16.8°C and rain becomes more persistent at 3mm/day. This is one of the most consistent months of the year for quality sessions.
