October: Spring Swell and the Monsoon Flip
October is the month when the wind regime starts to break down, but only just. The average swell is still a solid 1.8m (6ft) with a 13.7s period, and the direction is dominated by S (48.0%) and SSW (39.3%). However, SE and SSE winds combine for nearly 75% of all observations, and ideal conditions sit at just 5%. Occasionally, the first significant W and WNW wind events arrive and groom the long-period SSW/S swell into clean lines for a few hours. These are rare gems in an otherwise marginal month. As the monsoon flip progresses, rainfall starts to rise to 4.82mm/day and the air and water temperatures remain warm at 27.2°C and 28.9°C.
