Conditions at Vale Figueiras in November

November: Deep Water Consistency

November delivers a heavy dose of winter consistency. Average surf height is 2.1m (7ft) with an average period of 12.0s, so the swell is powerful and well organized. The dominant directions are NW at 28.9%, WNW at 15.6%, NNW at 14.9%, and W at 5.2%, with the full west-to-northwest quadrant supplying most of the significant energy. As the Atlantic storm track becomes more active, cut-off lows and strong frontal systems generate back-to-back swell trains. Wind becomes more favorable as well, with ideal conditions 34% of the time; NNW winds are still present at 20.3%, but there are many more clean offshore windows than in summer. Air temps drop to 16.7°C, water temps to 17.7°C, and rainfall increases to 2.95 mm/day. November is one of those months where the surf is almost always worth checking.
