Conditions at Costa Navarino in October
October: Autumn Stirs
October is the first month where the surf season starts to feel real again. The average swell height edges up to 2ft (0.6m), periods lengthen to 5.1s, and ideal offshore wind jumps to 24% - a significant step up from summer. Swell from the preferred SSW-SW-WSW-W window accounts for 36% of the observations, and the W and WSW directions are better represented than they have been since April. It is still small, with most energy under 3ft (1m), but the increasing storminess across the Mediterranean means more windows of opportunity.
Wind patterns become more variable and less meltemi-dominated. NE and ENE winds show up more often, providing the offshore component that this WSW-facing beach needs to straighten out the lines. Water temperature remains warm at 23.5°C and air temperatures average 19.6°C, so boardshorts and a light wetsuit are still fine. Precipitation is on the rise at 1.98 mm/day, but those frontal systems are exactly what will start building the swell.
