October: Autumn Transition
October is an in-between month with the same 6 percent ideal wind percentage as September, but still very small swell: 2.6ft (0.8m) and a 6.2s period. ESE remains the main source at 69 percent, the SE component grows to 19 percent, and the E share drops to 9 percent; a hint of SSW/S swell appears at around 2.7 percent combined. NE/ENE/E winds still add up to around 78 percent, but the margins of the wind rose are starting to fill in with lighter westerly and offshore directions. This is the wettest month, with 2.55mm/day, air temperatures around 25.8°C, and water staying tropical at 29.1°C. Surfwise, October is a month of small, soft 2-3ft (0.6-1m) waves, but the first true NW offshore mornings of the season can suddenly make the beach look a lot more inviting.
