Conditions at Ferrugem in October
October: Transitional Spring Swell
October is a month of mixed signals. Average swell height is still a decent 4.6ft (1.4m), but the period drops to 8.6s and ideal surf wind falls to 43%. Swell directions concentrate once more in the E/ESE sector: E 26.3%, ESE 19.3%, ENE 19.8% and SE 13.7%, meaning there is plenty of wave action from the preferred window. Most waves are in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with moderate 5-6ft (1.5-2m) pulses from E and ESE.
Wind is back to summer-like behavior. NNE dominates at 20.9%, NE at 11.5%, and the true offshore W/NW block is reduced to about 5%. Expect clean mornings, then increasing onshore texture through the day. Water temp has warmed to 20.4°C, air averages 18.9°C, and precipitation is 4.64 mm/day. October rewards surfers who watch the synoptic charts and strike when a cold front produces west winds - the swell size is there, it just needs an assist.
