October: The Atlantic Wakes Up
October is when the North Atlantic begins to roar back to life. Average wave height climbs to 2ft (0.6m), period increases to 5.6s, and the wind is favorable 19% of the time. The trade wind swell is still loud - NE and ENE make up 52% of the wave spectrum - but the good N, WNW, NW and NNW directions now represent about 25% of observations, with more frequent 3-5ft (1-1.5m) lines sneaking through. This clustering of early-season storm pulses is the first real taste of winter. The catch is that an active tropics can still throw hurricanes into the mix, producing unpredictable wind directions and heavy rain; when those systems clear out, the post-frontal S/SW flow can leave La Setenta glassy and firing. Water temperature is still warm at 28.9°C, air temperatures average 26.8°C, and rain is 2.97 mm/day.
