Conditions at Easkey Right in October
October: The North Atlantic Roars Back
October is a serious turning point. The North Atlantic storm track re-establishes itself, and the average swell climbs to 6-7ft (2.0m) with a solid 11.0s period. The wave rose shows a classic autumn swell matrix: W (14.4%), WNW (17.1%), NNW (12.1%) and NW (11.7%) all contributing heavy, organized energy. Heights in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range dominate, and the NW/NNW component is strong enough to wrap nicely into the north-facing break. Ideal offshore wind is 25%, often produced by a south/southwest flow ahead of advancing fronts. Water temperature is still manageable at 13.8°C, air temperatures average 11.4°C, and rain picks up to 4.18mm/day. This is the month to start watching the charts again - the combination of size, period and direction is becoming dangerous.
