Conditions at Cacimba do Padre in October
October: Still Locked in the Trade Wind Rut
October remains well inside the low season. The average period is only 9.9s and the average height is 5.9ft (1.8m). Swell is dominated by ESE at 49 percent and SE at 38 percent; north-quadrant energy is essentially absent. The wind picture is equally bad: ideal offshore flow sits at just 2 percent, with strong ESE and SE trade winds blowing 20-40kph for most of the month. From a surfer's perspective, the ocean is active but disorganized - plenty of whitewater and lumpy walls, but very few clean, well-shaped Cacimba waves. Water temp 26.8°C, air temps 24-27.5°C, and almost no rain (0.21 mm/day). If you are planning a trip, hold off until the setup improves in December.
