October: Peak Clean Combinations Before the Rain Returns
October is arguably the best month for all-around surf quality at Ekas. The swell average is still a healthy 5ft (1.5m), the period is a strong 13.7s, and a massive 88.6 percent of the wave energy arrives from SSW. The bulk is evenly split between 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) surf, with a few bigger 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) sets keeping things interesting. More importantly, the wind is ideal 88 percent of the time: the SE trades at 35.7 percent, ESE flow at 22.3 percent, and SSE flow at 19.9 percent are all present but on the lighter side. Rain starts to creep back in at 2.65 mm/day, but water stays warm at 28.3°C and air temp is 27.1°C. This is the month to plan a trip around, with clean sessions the rule rather than the exception.
