October: One Last Strong Month

Swell direction is still S-heavy at 62 percent, but the SSW share becomes meaningful again at 34 percent, restoring some direct energy to the spot. Winds are largely SE at 50 percent and SSE at 28 percent, so mornings tend to be clean and afternoons more textured. Rain begins to increase to 5.58 mm/day, air temp is 25.7°C, and water temp is 27.6°C. October can still deliver memorable sessions, especially when the SSW component is the stronger pulse in the water.
