Conditions at Belongas Bay in October
October: The Monsoon Flip Starts to Brew
October is a month of transition beneath a fading trade wind deck. Swell averages around 5-6ft (1.7m) at 13.7 seconds, and the SSW direction accounts for a massive 85.8% of the wave energy - there is no shortage of direction or period. Ideal wind, however, is still just 2%, with SE, SSE and S winds combining for over 77% of the observations. Speeds are generally lighter than mid-summer, so the bay holds more shape between the bumps. As the monsoon trough shifts, the first windows of northerly offshore flow start to appear, especially late in the month. Air temp is 27.1°C, water temp is 28.2°C, and rainfall edges up to 2.65mm/day.
