October: The Turn Toward Glass
October is a transition month in the best possible way. The swell is still very much alive - 4ft (1.3m) at 13.0s, with SSW (78.5%) and SW (15%) supplying consistent south energy - but the wind regime begins to flip back to the offshore direction. Ideal conditions climb to 59%, and by the latter half of the month the first strong N/NNE pulses of the dry season start to dominate the mornings. WNW (10%), NNW (9.5%) and E (9%) share the wind rose, with rainfall easing to 6.00mm/day and water temps comfortable at 29.2°C. The quality jump from September to October is dramatic: suddenly La Bocana turns from stormy and messy to groomed and rippable again.
