October: The Roar Returns
October is a turning point. Average swell height climbs to 6ft (1.8m) and the period lengthens to 11.4s as the North Atlantic starts generating serious extratropical storms again. The swell rose is still dominated by NW (38.0%), WNW (17.7%) and NNW (16.5%), but the distribution begins to fill in more from the west and southwest, with W at 5.9%, WSW at 1.8% and SW at 0.9%. Ideal offshore conditions are present 33 percent of the time, and the retreat of the strong summertime NNW trades makes for cleaner conditions, especially in the mornings. Water is still warm at 19.3°C, air temperature averages 19.4°C, and rainfall increases to 2.23mm/day as autumn fronts sweep through. When the swell direction aligns and N/NE winds blow offshore, Beliche offers some of the most beautiful, powerful surf of the year.
