Conditions at Meio da Baja in October
October: Autumn Roars Back to Life
The North Atlantic roars to life during October and Meio da Baja gets a sharp jump in average surf heights. The mean swell climbs to 6.9ft (2.1m) with an 11.4-second period, driven by a renewed chain of extratropical storms racing toward Europe. NW and NNW swells dominate, with healthy WNW and W contributions as well, giving the beach consistent, powerful lines.
Wind quality also improves. Ideal wind jumps to 25%, and the offshore sector from S through OSO becomes much more frequent. The Azores High is still strong, but when the right combination of a passing low and southerly outflow appears, you get sunny skies, glassy faces and long-period autumn swell. Water is still warm at 18.3°C and air averages 17.7°C - a golden month for surfing.
