October: The Roar Returns
October is when the North Atlantic truly reawakens, and Sidi Kaouki transforms. Average swell height rises to 1.8m (6ft) with a solid 11.6s period, and ideal wind percentages shoot up to 47%. The swell mix becomes more diverse, with NNW (52.6%) still dominant but NW (26.8%) and WNW (4.3%) adding size and direction. The offshore sector is strong, with NE (16.1%), ENE (5.9%), E (3.7%), and ESE (2.9%) flowing off the land. Water temps remain comfortable at 19.3°C (67°F), while air averages 20.7°C (69°F) and rain starts to wet the dunes (0.75 mm/day). After months of groveling, the longer periods and consistent groundswell bring back proper overhead waves. This is the start of the magic window - watch for strong autumn cold fronts powering up the Atlantic.
