Conditions at Warroora Station in October
October: Spring Size, Summer Wind
October starts the spring transition with a mean swell of 1.7m (5.6ft) and a slightly shorter period of 12.9s. The swell is still almost entirely SSW/SW, and wave heights are concentrated in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range, so there is no shortage of waves. The drop in period, however, means less of that heavy, structured groundswell punch than July or August.
Wind quality falls away sharply. Ideal offshore conditions are only 10%, while S and SSW winds account for over 60% of the wind rose and frequently reach 20-40kph. This makes for bigger, wind-affected surf and a lot of sectiony conditions. Air temperatures average 23.0°C, water is 22.5°C, and there is virtually no rain at 0.05mm/day. October is for storm-watching and picking the dawn windows when the southerly gradient relaxes.
