October: Big Spring Swell with Summery Winds Starting to Appear
October keeps the winter groundswell rolling while the days get noticeably warmer and longer. The average swell height is still a very healthy 2.2m (7.2ft), the period is 12.9s, and SW swells make up 40.1% of the total - backed up by another 15.4% from the WSW. The wind profile is split between a developing SSE/SE seabreeze trend and the lingering frontal flow from the west. Ideal wind drops to 17%, but there are still plenty of clean windows as high pressure systems build in and deliver mornings of offshore ESE flow. Air temps climb to 15.3°C, water is 17.9°C, and rainfall is much lower at 1.24 mm/day. October offers the best of both worlds: proper size and a hint of the summer surf style.
