October: Autumn Bump and Cleaner Windows
October marks the first real transition back toward surfable conditions. Average wave height climbs to 2ft (0.6m), period lengthens to 5.1s, and ideal offshore wind is back up to 14%. The wave rose becomes more mixed: NW is still the biggest direction at 24.4%, but the favourable SW-WNW quadrant now accounts for around 40% of all readings - SW 7.5%, WSW 10.5%, W 10.8% and WNW 13.2% - with the first notable appearances of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) swells from the west. NNW winds are still frequent at 20.6%, but E/ENE/ESE offshore winds occur more regularly as high pressure builds over the Balkans. With air temperatures around 19.6°C and water still warm at 23.5°C, October offers the best combination of improving swell and pleasant conditions before the winter storm track fully kicks in.
