Conditions at Yo-Yos in October
October: Transitional Onshore Mess
October remains under the influence of the southeast monsoon, but the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to appear. Swell averages 1.5m (5ft / 1.5m) with a long 13.8s period, and SSW swells make up an enormous 86.6% of the energy. Winds are still predominantly SE (32.7%) and SSE (27.5%), with a notable ESE component (15.1%), keeping ideal wind frequency at a poor 5%. Rain begins to increase (2.22mm/day) and air temperatures warm to 26.9°C, while the water sits at 28.6°C. The surf is often messy, but the lighter trade wind speeds relative to mid-summer offer a slight improvement, and the early morning hours can occasionally deliver a clean, glassy window.
