October: The Atlantic Reawakens
October is a true turning point. The North Atlantic roars back to life as the storm track migrates south, and the average swell height at Cabedelo jumps to 2.1m (6.9ft) with a period of 11.1s. The swell rose is still dominated by NW and WNW - 26.7 percent and 21.1 percent respectively - but the W and WSW sectors become more significant, bringing the swell angle closer to the ideal southwest-facing window. This is the month for long-period groundswell arriving under sunny, cool autumn skies; when the wind goes offshore from N/NE, the waves can be truly memorable. The main negative is the return of S/SW storm winds, and ideal wind drops to 52 percent. Air temperatures are still mild at 16.2°C, water remains warm at 16.6°C, and rain picks up to 4.35 mm/day. October is the classic start of the serious surf season.
