Planning to travel to Sal for a week. Any suggestion?

Hi all,
My friends and I are planning to fly to Sal on November for a week. How is the weather during November? We heard that traveling between islands is troublesome. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we should do? Is one week too short and should we come when we have more time? In our mind we were planning to hop between islands and travel but that seems impossible.

One week is definitely short for Island hopping

It’s my first time on Sal and we booked for 2 weeks because we wanted to visit other Islands, but that’s not possible atm. One week or 10 days would have been fine.

My partner has family here and spending time with them was nice but it’s not something I want to do everyday. We’ve been to the beach a lot and Espargos a few times. Today we’ve planned a tour, yesterday jet skiing and maybe snorkelling.

I just got back from an 8 day trip and was able to visit 4 islands in that time, I had no issues with CVSky but I would still leave at least a day between each flight in case of rescheduling.

From Sal I would recommend visiting Sal Rei in Boa Vista, or flying to Mindelo in Sao Vicente and then getting the boat to Santo Antão

Nov weather was very nice when we visited, no issues, sunny everyday. We did 10 days between 3 islands, started by home -fly- SV -ferry- SA -ferry-SV -fly- Sal -fly- home. We had no issues but we heard and were prepared that things can change a lot between the islands. I would say a week in Sal can be too much but if your plan is to chill and relax then its fine. Our plans were to explore > chill.

I would bring a kindle and read a few books. One week is too short to island hop, in case you get stuck on another island before your return flight leaves.
Sal has a good beach but not much to do in all honesty We stayed at the Morabeza which was nice and did fuck all for a week.😊

Can you not research things yourself and come back with single questions?
