October: The Season Turns On
October is when the North Atlantic awakens and Rabo de Peixe feels the full force of rebuilding storm tracks. Average swell height jumps to 7.5ft (2.3m), the period extends to 11.2 seconds, and the percentage of large overhead swell in the NNW and NW directions grows dramatically. The swell rose shows NNW at 22.1%, NW at 11.5%, and WNW at 7.2%, with a significant share of waves in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) bracket and a rising number of bigger sets. The wind is a little more aligned with surfing too: ideal offshore conditions sit at 28 percent, and the WSW/SW/S winds start to replace the classic summer northerlies. This is one of the best months for a surf trip: warm air (20.2°C) and water (21.3°C) combine with proper autumn groundswell. The first serious low-pressure systems of the season are the ones you want to track.
