October: Spring Mix - Pick Your Window

The wave climate is split between S/SSE energy and a strong NE component, reflecting the return of the trade-wind regime. Offshore W/WNW winds still blow around 14% of the time, but onshore NE/ENE/E/ESE winds now account for around 20%, so quality becomes much more hit-or-miss.
Air temp is 16.8°C, water temp is 17.4°C, and rainfall is 2.59 mm/day. October rewards surfers who wait for a front to deliver a SW/W change and freshen the swell.
