October: Spring Energy with a Split Personality
October brings a noticeable step down in size, but the swell is still far from flat. The average sits at 7ft (2.2m) with a long 12.8s period, and the dominant SW (48.7%) and WSW (12.2%) swells continue to wrap into Trigg with real power. What makes October tricky is the wind direction. Ideal offshore flow is down to 29%, while SSW and S winds are common, and the first summer sea breezes start to appear in the afternoons. This is a month of windows: low-pressure systems passing south of Australia generate clean, pulsing swell, and when the winds align from E/ESE, you get excellent spring surf. Otherwise, the bumpy south wind controls the daily rhythm. Water temp is a cool 18.8°C, air temps warm to 17.1°C, and rainfall drops to 1.11mm/day. Keep an eye on the synoptic chart, not just the buoy.
