October: The Southern Ocean Roars On, but Winds Get Mixed
October can produce some of the most exciting surf of the year at Jan Juc, especially when a deep low pressure system surges through the Southern Ocean. Average swell height is still 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) with a period of 12.2s, and the wave rose shows SW swell at 50.3% - the highest percentage of the year. WSW (11.7%) and SSW (15.8%) add plenty of power. The spring storm tracks are still alive and well.
The wind, however, is more fickle. The ideal wind score drops to 35%, and while W (11.7%), WNW (11.4%) and NNW (8.3%) flow is still significant, the southeasterly sea breeze becomes more prominent as the days grow longer. Air temperatures rise to 13.3°C, water temperature is 14.0°C, and rainfall is 2.20mm/day. In October, the best windows often come immediately after a cold front, with NW winds and a building SW swell.
