Conditions at Gibara in October
October: Autumn Transition Begins
October marks a shift back toward more consistent surf. Average swell height is 0.9m (3ft), period reaches 6.3s, and ideal wind improves to 5%. The swell direction mix becomes more interesting: ENE leads at 43.2%, E follows at 28.2%, and NE jumps to a significant 18.5%. This broader spread means more opportunity for the east-facing beach to see wrap-around energy, especially as early-season cold fronts begin to push into the Gulf of Mexico. Winds are still mostly E (30.1%) and ENE (27.3%), but the frequency of lighter S-SW flow rises slightly from summer levels. Water temperature is 28.6°C, air temperature 27.3°C, and rainfall is high at 3.31 mm/day. October is a good month to start watching the forecast again.
