Conditions at Lagido in October
October: The Roar of the North Atlantic
October marks the true turning point. The North Atlantic storm track re-energises, and Lagido sees a sharp jump in surf energy. Average swell height rises to 6.9ft (2.1m), average period climbs to 11.4s, and the dominant directions are NW (27.1 percent), NNW (18.1 percent) and WNW (17.4 percent). Long-period groundswell becomes increasingly common, and the heavier, more powerful lines start showing up on the charts.
Everything comes together in October because ideal offshore wind reaches 26 percent, the highest figure since winter. Low pressure systems approaching from the west drag S and SW winds across the coast, grooming the NW swell into clean, ordered lines. NNW wind is still present at 21.3 percent, so careful timing is needed. Water temp remains pleasant at 18.3C, air averages 17.7C, and rainfall jumps to 2.87 mm/day. This is the month when the best season at Lagido begins in earnest.
