October: Spring Windswell Grind
October is when Guarda do Embau slips back into a lower-quality regime. Average swell drops to 4.6ft (1.4m), but period falls to 8.6s, signalling a return of shorter-period windswell. The swell rose is dominated by E (26.3%), ENE (19.8%) and ESE (19.3%), with SE (13.7%), SSE (11.7%) and S (5.6%) still providing some background groundswell. Size remains on the table, but the energy is less organized.
The wind turns against the coast. NNE is the top breeze at 25.0%, N adds 12.0%, NE 10.9%, and ideal offshore flow bottoms out at 16%.
