Conditions at Parlementia in October
October: The Season Fires Up
October is when Parlementia truly starts to deliver again. The average swell height climbs to 1.3m (4.3ft) and the period lengthens to an impressive 11.3s. The wave rose shows an ideal, balanced mix: WNW (41.2%) and NW (42.1%) are almost perfectly matched, with a combined 83.3% from the optimal west/northwest quadrant. The size distribution is no longer top-heavy; you see a solid 13.8% WNW and 13.9% NW in the 1-1.5m range, and 9.3% WNW and 9.0% NW in the 1.5-2m (5-6ft) tier. The percentage of 2m+ waves is still small but present (3.9% WNW and 3.7% NW). Wind statistics also improve dramatically: ideal offshore winds blow 42% of the time, and the wind rose shows a strengthening S/SSW component (10.5% and 6.3%). This is when groundswell from Canadian and Greenland lows begins to mix with more moderate air temps (16.1°C average) and water temps that are still comfortable at 18.4°C. October is the classic month to score pumping, clean, hollow waves without the brutal cold of full winter.
