Conditions at Kastro Point in October
October: Autumn Crackles with Possibility
October is when Kastro Point wakes up. The average swell height bumps to 0.5m (1.6ft), the period stretches to 4.8s, and the south quadrant reclaims 26.5% of the swell, with SSW (9.6%) and S (8.3%) doing the heavy lifting. The first genuine Mediterranean lows of the season start to drop south, generating short-period but increasingly energised swell from the south. The flipside is wind: ideal offshore N/NNE/NW/NNW conditions sit at only 15%, and the prevailing winds remain in the NE through ESE sector, which can chop things up. Still, the storm track is becoming active and ordinary October days can hold more energy than the entire summer. Air temperatures ease to 16.2°C, water stays warm at 22.4°C, and rain picks up to 3.17 mm/day. Keep an eye on the charts - when a low forms in the south Ionian and the wind flips north, Kastro can produce its first proper surf of the season.
