Conditions at Bejuco in October
October: The Wettest Month with Plenty of SW Energy
October is the climax of the rainy season across this part of Costa Rica, and the moisture-laden atmosphere produces an average of 9.36mm/day of rain. Despite that, the surf remains excellent on paper. Average swell height is 4.5ft (1.4m), average period is 12.8s, and the swell direction becomes broader as SW pulses increase to 20.1%, along with 78.4% from the SSW. Some 16.6% of waves reach 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and 0.5% touch 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m). The still-long 12.8s period keeps the swell rideable and powerful, though not quite as clean as the 14s pulses of spring. Ideal wind is at 22%. Air temperatures average 25.2°C, and the water is still warm at 28.0°C. October is a month for the dedicated surfer: persistent cloud, heavy rain showers, but plenty of south groundswell rolling into the SSW-facing beach.
