Conditions at Cabo de San Antonio in October
October: The Swell Engine Begins to Rev
October is the first true transition month toward winter. Average swell height climbs back to 3ft (0.9m) with a 6.2s period, and the directional spread shifts noticeably toward the NE/ENE quadrant: NE (15.6%), ENE (16.9%), NNE (13.7%), and E (12.4%). The SSE-SW swell sector is 4.3%, but the increase in overall size means the background windswell, while still directionally imperfect, has more push behind it. Ideal offshore wind is 18% of the time. A mix of early-season cold fronts and late-season tropical systems can occasionally deliver a decent S/SSW swell. Air temps cool slightly to 28.2°C, water temperature remains warm at 29.2°C, and rainfall is still high at 4.39 mm/day. It is a month of increasing opportunity, but still far from consistent.
