Conditions at Surfer's Beach in October
October: Prime-Time Shoulder Season
October is arguably the best combination of size and clean wind at Surfer's Beach. Swell averages 4ft (1.2m) with the period back up to 10.0s, and the NNE quadrant is well represented at 22%, with N and NNW adding another 6%. The wind quality is superb too - a year-high 51% of ideal surfing conditions, as lighter E/SE breezes and S/SSW offshore flows give the beach more clean windows than any other month. The North Atlantic is starting to roar back to life with extratropical lows, and hurricane remnants still roam the tropics. This is the month to clear your schedule and chase the first proper groundswell of the season. Water temp is a balmy 29.1°C, so no neoprene required.
