Conditions at Praia do Silveira in October
October: Solid Spring Swell, Fading Offshore Windows
October is a month of contrasts at Praia do Silveira. The swell is still good: average height holds at 1.4m (4-5ft), and the direction spectrum is full of optimal energy-E (26.3 percent), ENE (19.8 percent), ESE (19.3 percent), and SE (13.7 percent). The 1-2m range is dominant, and there are still pulses in the 1.5-2.5m range, especially from E and ESE. But the wind regime is turning against surfers. NNE wind is the single dominant direction at 25.0 percent, and NE adds another 10.9 percent, creating a persistent cross/onshore flow. Ideal conditions drop to 19 percent. SSW winds (13.6 percent) and SW (4.2 percent) still show up after frontal systems, but they are less reliable than in the heart of winter. Air temps are moderating to 18.9°C and water temp has warmed to 20.4°C. October is a good month for waves, but you have to be selective-the mornings after a cold front are often the only truly clean windows.
