Conditions at Arma di Taggia in October
October: The Season Reawakens
October is the real turning point. Average height climbs back to 0.5m (1.6ft), average period to 5.0s, and the percentage of ideal offshore wind doubles to 10%. The wave rose begins to look more winter-like: NE swells increase to 11.8% as cold fronts pass, while S (10.4%), SE (7.8%), ESE (8.2%) and SSE (6.4%) supply the most favourable directions. SSW still dominates at 22.5%, and SW remains important at 12.8%, so the bay is a magnet for mixed south/southwest swell events. Rainfall ramps up to 3.37mm/day and air temps cool to 15.1°C. This is the transition month when Gulf of Genoa lows become more frequent; if one forms while a continental high sits over the Alps, Arma di Taggia gets workable S/SE swell with a clean N/NW offshore wind - the best formula for glassy, shoulder-high waves on a beach that is otherwise used to small conditions.
