Conditions at Polzeath in October
October: The North Atlantic Roars to Life
October is a classic turning point on the Atlantic coast. The average surf height jumps to around 5ft (1.6m) and the period increases to 10.3s as the first serious autumn lows deepen off North America and send long-period energy across the Atlantic. The wave rose shows W swell at 38%, WSW at 15% and WNW at 13%, so the beach is well exposed to all the best swell windows. Offshore ENE-SE winds blow 24% of the time, and those days can deliver clean, powerful, overhead lines. Water remains warm enough at 14.9°C and air temperatures are still comfortable at 13.1°C, making October one of the finest blends of size, quality and comfort all year.
