October: Real Swell and Nor'easter Season
October is where Lawrencetown finds its true form. The North Atlantic storm track is back in business, average wave heights rise to 4-5ft (1.4m) with an 8.2-second period, and the swell mix shifts to a solid SSW (14.4%), SE (12.9%), S (11.5%), SSE (11.2%) and SW (10.7%). The SE and ESE component also increases as coastal lows spin off the Gulf Stream. Wind patterns are still fickle, with SW (10.4%) and offshore northwesterlies (NNW 10.6%, WNW 10.1%) competing for dominance, but the 33% of ideal offshore wind days are becoming longer and more reliable. Water temp sits at 12.0°C (53.6°F), air temp drops to 11.8°C (53.2°F), and rainfall climbs to 4.06 mm/day. The first serious swell events of the autumn hit this month - grab a hood and go.
