October: The Fall Swell Engine Turns Over
October is where the surf year starts to wake up. Average wave height rises to 0.5m (1.6ft) and the period stretches slightly to 3.7s, reflecting the return of stronger synoptic-scale systems to the region. Swell direction is well aligned: SW at 16.2%, SSW at 10.3%, WSW at 10.3%, W at 8.5% and S at 6.8% keep the favorable S-to-WSW quadrant at about 44%. For the first time since spring, a few more waves reach the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) and even 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range, though the bulk remains in the smaller bins. Winds remain the bottleneck: onshore SSW/SW/WSW plus S totals about 42%, and ideal wind is still just 1%. Still, with air temperatures averaging 11.2°C, a max of 27.8°C, and precipitation at 2.52 mm/day, October offers the first legitimate chance of combining a passing low-pressure system with a groomable offshore breeze.
