Conditions at Meron in October
October: The Recharge
October is when Meron turns back on. The North Atlantic storm track starts waking up, average swell climbs to 4.5ft (1.4m) and period builds to 11.2s. The swell window is beautifully aligned - NW 47.9%, NNW 23.9% and WNW 10.2% - producing proper long-period groundswell for the north-facing beach. The 3-6ft (0.9-1.8m) range is the sweet spot, with a significant chunk of waves also pushing into the 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) zone.
Conditions get more user-friendly too: ideal offshore winds arrive 48% of the time. The onshore N/NNW component is small, and the S/SSW/SW quadrants become more regular players. Water temperature is still workable at 17.2°C, air averages 15.6°C, and rain increases to 2.98mm/day. This is the month to watch the synoptic charts - the first big clean swell of autumn is worth dropping everything for.
