October: Mixing Seasons, Shorter Windows
October is a pure shoulder month. The average wave period eases to 8.7s and ideal wind drops to 30%, so clean all-day sessions are harder to find. The swell table still shows a strong SSE signal at 19.3%, S at 13.4% and SE at 13.2%, while E, ENE and NE pulses from trade-wind and trough activity mix in. Wind conditions see NE at 10.5%, NNE at 10.2% and SSE/S influences, though W/NW offshore pulses remain frequent enough to keep the beach interesting. Water temp rises to 19.2°C, air temp averages 18.0°C, and precipitation is 2.06 mm/day. Early morning is your friend: when a southern groundswell coincides with a westerly breeze, October can deliver excellent waves.
