Conditions at Pease Bay in October
October: North Atlantic Roars Back
October is when Pease Bay shifts from summer mode to full-on autumn/winter. Average surf height jumps to 4ft (1.3m), period 6.2s, and the percentage of rideable optimal swell increases sharply. The N/NE/ENE sectors combine for around 25% of the spectrum, with ENE and NNE delivering the best mid-period waves; over 15% of all observations are in the 3-8ft (1-2.5m) range from the favourable quadrant. The North Atlantic storm track is active, and low pressure systems moving east of Scotland generate strong pressure gradients over the North Sea, producing the N/NE pulses the bay is built for.
Rainfall averages 2.78 mm/day, one of the wettest months, as fronts march across the country. SST is 12.1°C, air 10.0°C. S/SSW/SW/WSW offshore winds appear 15% of the time and are often lighter than in November, giving plenty of clean windows. This is one of the best combinations of size, consistency and manageable weather that Pease Bay sees all year.
