Conditions at Conil de la Frontera in October
October: The North Atlantic Roars Back
October is the true turning point. Average swell height climbs to 1.1m (3.5-4ft) and period jumps to 9.4s, with a clear increase in the 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m classes. The swell rose still favours WNW at 38.3%, but W swell is back to 19.0% and WSW adds another 4.0%. The ideal wind percentage rises to 25%, and although E/ESE winds are still strong, they are more frequently offshore and light enough to groom the waves. The first deep North Atlantic cyclones send long-period swells toward the Gulf of Cadiz, and Conil starts to deliver proper surf again. Water temp remains pleasant at 19.6°C, air averages 19.8°C, and precipitation increases to 2.52 mm/day. This is the month to watch the charts closely.
