October: Groundswell Meets Spring Chop
October is a transition month in every sense. The average swell height remains decent at 4-5ft (1.4m), but the period drops back to 8.6s and the direction mix becomes more easterly: E (26.3%), ENE (19.8%) and ESE (19.3%) dominate, with SE at 13.7% and SSE at 11.7%. S swell is fading fast (5.6%), so the deeper winter pulses are less common. The ideal wind rating falls to 32% - one of the lowest of the year - as NNE (24.1%) and NE (19.2%) flow settle in and the W/NW windows are limited to post-frontal periods. Spring weather brings air temperatures averaging 18.9°C, water at 20.1°C, and 4.64 mm/day of rain. Still, on the days when a front stalls to the south, the easterly groundswell can line up with clean offshore wind and produce very good surf.
