October: Right Swell Direction, Wrong Wind
October is the classic Noosa tease. The average swell height is 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), the period drops to 7.8s, and ideal wind sits at just 36%. The swell rose shows the ideal N/NNE/NE/ENE quadrant at 33%, but the wind rose explains the frustration: NNW winds blow 14.9% of the time and the N/NNE/NE/ENE onshore sector accounts for another 23%. Offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW winds shrink to under 13%, so the vast majority of days feature bumpy, onshore texture. Water is a pleasant 22.6°C and air 21.3°C with low rainfall. The early-morning southerly change remains the best bet - when the wind flips offshore, even a so-so E swell can make the points look world-class.
