October: The Closest Thing to a Surf Season
October is the month when the North Atlantic storm track starts waking up, and at Habitat 67 this is about as good as it gets, which is to say, still very marginal. Average air temperatures drop to a crisp 8.6°C, and precipitation rises to 3.24 mm/day as stronger frontal systems pass. Yet the swell statistics remain at 0.0m and 0.0s, and ideal surf wind sits at 0%. The winds are more varied: WSW (11.7%) and W (11.4%) still lead, but WNW (8.0%) and NW (4.6%) combine with N and NNW to give an offshore quadrant sum of around 19.0%. The bad onshore quadrant, ESE, SE, SSE, and S, totals about 22.6%, so bouts of choppy south wind are just as common as offshore flow. Any wave that appears is short-period windswell generated on the river, measured in seconds and centimeters, not the long-period groundswell that surfers dream about.
