Conditions at Mitikas in October
October: The Autumnal Awakening
October is an exciting transition month at Mitikas. The average wave climbs to 1.6ft (0.5m), period improves to 4.4s, and ideal offshore wind jumps to 19 percent. The swell distribution starts to look less like summer: NW (17.9%), WNW (13.2%) and W (6.1%) deliver the best-aligned energy, and some longer-period pulses can escape the region's autumn lows. The wind distribution shifts back in your favor too - E (15.7%), ESE (9.3%) and ENE (16.7%) are the top offshore/cross-offshore signals. With air temperature at 19.4°C, water still a warm 22.5°C, and rainfall averaging 3.11mm/day, this is one of the best windows for comfortable, clean surf before the true winter chill sets in. If an October low stalls west of Greece, do not hesitate: Mitikas can suddenly serve up fun, rippable 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) waves with light offshore winds.
