Conditions at Boilers in October
October: The Roar Returns
The North Atlantic roars back to life in October, and Boilers feels every pulse. The average swell rises to 6ft (1.8m) and periods stretch to 11.6s, while ideal offshore wind jumps to 45%. The swell rose is still led by NNW (53.1%) and NW (30.4%), but there is now a meaningful W/WNW contribution (4.3%) and even a hint of WSW (0.2%). These westerly-southwesterly components are the golden directions for a southwest-facing spot, delivering organized groundswell with clean shoulders.
Winds are also more favourable: N and NNE combine for 30.2% of observations, and the strong NNW wind drops to 33.2%. This makes for many glassy, offshore mornings. Air temp remains warm at 21.2°C, water temp peaks at 18.9°C, and rainfall increases slightly to 0.60mm/day. October is one of the finest months of the year.
