Conditions at Pororoca in October
October: Warm Water, Building Tide Energy
October offers another solid window for the tidal bore. Precipitation is at its yearly minimum of 1.28 mm/day, so the river is running low, but the post-equinox spring tides are still strong enough to shove a decent pulse of ocean water upriver. The wind profile remains locked into the ENE trade flow at 66.9%, with NE at 24.1%; most of it is 10-20kph, and ideal offshore wind remains absent at 0%. The open-ocean swell charts are still blank - 0ft (0m) and 0.0s. Water temp peaks regionally at 29.4°C, so you are surfing in very warm water. The bore can be good, especially on the largest tide swings, but expect shorter rides than in the wet-season peak. Average air temperature is 28.1°C.
