October: The Atlantic Starts to Roar
The North Atlantic roars to life in October and Caswell feels the first serious surge of the storm season. Average wave heights jump to 4ft (1.2m), while the average period settles around 8.6s; not as long as midwinter, but the energy is becoming more organised. What makes October special is direction: the percentage of favourable SSE, S, SSW and SW swell climbs to nearly 20%, the best directional alignment of the year for this south-facing beach. The trade-off is wind, with ideal offshore flow dropping to 11% and the increasingly stormy weather often bringing strong W/SW winds that ruin the surface. Air temperatures cool to 11.9°C, water still holds at 14.8°C, and precipitation increases to 3.69mm/day. Chasing the clean windows between fronts becomes the game, and those windows can produce some of the best waves of the season.
