Conditions at Reve Havn in October
October: The North Atlantic Roars to Life
October is the month where Reve Havn wakes up. The average swell jumps to around 4ft (1.3m) with a 7.5s period, and the wave direction roses become beautifully balanced for this coast: W (12.0%), NW (11.5%), SW (11.1%), WSW (10.8%), WNW (10.8%) and SSW (10.6%) all contribute, meaning the spot is exposed to a broad swath of productive North Atlantic energy. The 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class becomes the backbone of the surf, while 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) days are increasingly likely as the storm track ramps up. The North Atlantic is roaring back to life, with autumn lows generating powerful swells that push into the Norwegian Sea. Wind remains tricky - ideal offshore wind is 11%, with NNW (13.1%) and SE (12.0%) winds dominating the wind rose - but the increasing swell size means more sessions will make it through the chop. Water temps are still tolerable at 12.6°C, air averages 8.9°C, and precipitation rises to 6.0mm/day. October is when the serious surf season starts rolling.
