Conditions at Cadiz in October
October: The North Atlantic Reawakens
October is the turning point. The North Atlantic roars back to life with the first proper autumn lows, and Cadiz's average swell height jumps to 4ft (1.2m) with the period climbing to 9.5 seconds. WNW again leads the swell rose at 35.4 per cent, W is strong at 20.4 per cent, and WSW adds 6.6 per cent with NW at 6.5 per cent. The number of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves increases across the W/WNW sectors, and the first long-period swells of the season become more frequent as the storm track dips south over the Atlantic.
The wind signal is classic autumn: the Levante strengthens, with ESE at 18.5 per cent and E at 8.6 per cent, while the westerly sea breeze still appears often enough to roughen things up. Ideal surf windows rise to 32 per cent. Water temp is still comfortable at 19.9°C, air averages 19.8°C, and rainfall picks up to 2.52mm/day - autumn is here and the surf quality curve is pointing strongly upward.
