Conditions at Woolamai in October
October: High Energy, Flukier Winds
October is the classic shoulder month. The ocean is still producing big Southern Ocean swells: average height is 1.6m (5-6ft), average period 12.2s, and SW swell generation pushes to 50.3%, with SSW at 15.8% and WSW at 11.7%. The trade-off is the wind. Offshore NW/NNW flow drops to around 21.6%, while SE (7.2%), SSE (5.9%) and S (6.1%) seabreezes start to return, sending ideal conditions down to 32%. Water temp is 14.0°C, air temp 13.3°C, rain 2.20 mm/day. Early morning on a dropping SW swell is the play, before the spring sunshine builds an onshore seabreeze.
