October: The North Atlantic Wakes Up
The North Atlantic roars to life during October, and Berria feels it immediately. Average swell jumps to 4.9ft (1.5m) and average period to 11.3s - a significant increase in both size and power. The swell rose is still NW-dominated: NW 50.6%, WNW 18.1%, and NNW 13.7%, with the bulk of energy now sitting in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) ranges, plus a healthy 8.4% from NW at 6-8ft (2-2.5m). Crucially, ideal wind jumps to 50%, as S (9.0%) and SSW (8.3%) winds become common ahead of autumn lows - those are offshore at this beach. Weather is changing fast too: air temp cools to 16.4°C, water temp still pleasant at 18.2°C, and rain increases to 3.14 mm/day. October is the classic shoulder-to-overhead month with that rare combo of good swell and glassy conditions.
