October: The Last Great Groundswell Window
October is the last big push before the monsoon returns, and it often produces some of the most photogenic days of the year. Average swell height eases slightly to 1.8m (5.9ft), but the period stays at 13.8 seconds and the direction is remarkably concentrated: a massive 83.1% of the energy arrives from SSW. The core of the swell is in the 1.5-2m (5-6ft) bracket at 45.9%, with 18.1% in the 2-2.5m (6-8ft) range. That means consistent, powerful lines wrapping into Nyang Nyang's SSW-facing break.
Winds are on the change. ESE and SE still provide 28.1% and 23.0%, respectively, but the trades are less aggressive, and the ideal surf-window recovers to 24%. Rain starts to creep back at 2.12 mm/day, while air temps warm to 26.8°C and water temperature rises to 27.8°C. October is a beautiful balance of remaining dry-season swell and pre-monsoon calm, making it one of the best months for surfers who missed the April and May clean windows.
