October: The Transition Back to Clean Power

October is one of the most underrated months at Mizata. The wet season is still present with 6.00 mm/day of rain, but the wind regime begins its shift back toward the dry season. Ideal offshore winds climb to 59%, with NW (8.5%), NNW (9.5%), and NNE (8.6%) all becoming more active. Meanwhile, the swell still has a tropical pulse: SSW (78.5%) and SW (15.0%) produce an average height of 1.3m (4.3ft) with a 13.0s period, and a good share of waves hold in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range. The S/SW onshore wind component is also weaker now, so when an offshore flow kicks in - often around the passing of a cold front or high pressure ridge - the combination of clean winds and long-period SSW/SW ground swell makes October a serious sleeper month.
