Conditions at Neminja in October
October: The Atlantic Roars Back
The North Atlantic wakes up properly in October. Average swell height climbs back to 2.4m (7.9ft) and period extends to 11.3s. The energy spreads across a wider directional spectrum: NW 16.6%, WNW 14.2%, NNW 11.5%, W 7.1%, WSW 4.1% and SW 1.5%. Compared to summer, the W/SW windows are far more active, and that is exactly what Neminja needs. The wind story is a double-edged sword: NE flow is still present at 16.0%, but southerly and south-westerly winds, including S 13.4% and SSW 10.6%, begin to increase as lows sweep the Bay of Biscay. Ideal wind sits at 25 percent. Water temp is still pleasant at 16.6°C, air averages 16.1°C, and rainfall climbs to 5.09 mm/day. Autumn's mix of warm water and increasing groundswell makes October a prime time to score Neminja.
