tiger45 Posted May 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Has anyone encountered rough seas in October on cruises from Madeira to Brazil? I'm planning to cruise from Turkey to Brazil from 8 October to 2 November.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted May 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Not to be Captain Obvious here, but the oceans can be rough at any time or smooth as glass at any time. If you are prone to sea-sicknesses bring the appropriate remedies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Med and the southern route should be pretty calm at that time of year. Don’t forget the Bonine just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted May 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Barring rough seas you should have smooth seas :). By the way, can you tell me if there will be any clouds over your home on July 5? I am making light of the OP's question (we often see similar questions here on CC) because the very obvious answer is that there is no way to predict (beyond a few days) future sea conditions. As is often said, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger45 Posted May 23, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Thanks Cole, CGT and Hlitner. I totally understand - one cannot really predict and we shall definitely come fully equipped!! Glad to know though that there can be smooth seas. We have done the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf previously. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted May 23, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The roughest seas that I have experienced have not been on the Atlantic. The northern Pacific Ocean can be rough, but, sailing at the tail end of a typhoon will provide quite a "ride". Then, there is the infamous Tasman Sea. I have sailed it when King Neptune was having a good day and when his Majesty was rather upset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship can be steered away from storms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nferr Posted May 24, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I just did a 15 night Transatlantic NY to Barcelona in April. Was smoother than most of my Caribbean sailings out of NY. Had one night was kind of stormy and I slept great. I like the rocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worst was in the northern Pacific. My first and only case of seasickness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
