Conditions at Lido di Ostia in October
October: The Season Lights Up
October is when Lido di Ostia shakes off the summer sleep. The average swell height jumps to 2.5ft (0.8m) and the period stretches to 5.0s, with more energy gradually entering the Tyrrhenian. The swell rose reveals a shift toward the south/southeast (SSE/S together around 28%) as a result of the early-season Scirocco events, but the west quadrant still contributes 35% of the total, including a solid WSW (12.8%) and W (10.8%). The wind picture improves dramatically: offshore NE-ENE-E-ESE winds make up 24% of the time, while onshore westerlies fall to 20%. Ideal wind reaches 19%. The sea surface temperature is still comfortable at 20.9°C, while air temps cool to a pleasant 17°C. As lows begin to organize in the western Mediterranean, expect your first proper 3-4ft (1-1.2m) sessions of the season, especially if a Levante (E) morning coincides with a fresh W/WSW groundswell.
