Conditions at Andran in October
October: The North Atlantic Roars Back
October is one of the most exciting months at Andran. The North Atlantic storm track re-awakens, pushing the average swell height to 1.5m (5ft) and the average period up to 11.2s. NW supplies 49% of all recorded swell, with NNW adding 21% and WNW another 11%; swells in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range become common and the interval data highlight the return of proper groundswell. These are the clean, powerful lines Andran was built for.
Wind statistics improve in step: ideal offshore conditions jump to 33%. The S/SSW/SW/WSW quadrant is more common as low pressures track near the Bay of Biscay, while E/ENE winds begin to lose their summer grip. N/NNW/NW/WNW winds can still spoil a session, but the ratio is now far more favourable. Water remains comfortable at 18.1°C, air averages 15.9°C, and precipitation rises to 3.08mm/day - autumn at its best.
