Conditions at North Point in October
October: Spring Upgrade - Big Swells and Drier, More Workable Winds
October marks a real change at North Point. Average swell size still sits at around 7ft (2.2m) with a 12.9-second period, and the swell rose shows the SW quadrant firing at 40%, with WSW adding 15.4%. The westerly component is still present, and the sheer size of those SW swells means plenty of energy wraps into this west-facing coastline. Serious, powerful surf is still very much on the cards.
The biggest improvements are wind and weather. Ideal wind is 16%, but the wind distribution is healthier, with SSE, S, SSW, SE and ESE directions much more balanced and fewer strong westerly gales. Rainfall drops sharply to 1.24 mm/day, air temperatures rise to 15.3°C, and water temperature warms to 17.8°C. By late October, North Point often feels like the autumn months all over again - still juicy, but with cleaner surfaces and lighter winds.
