Conditions at Kitaizumi in October
October: The Autumn Recharge
October is one of the best months of the year at Kitaizumi. The average swell height is 1.1m (3.5ft), the period lengthens back to 9.0s, and the directional window is excellent: E at 32.1 percent, ESE at 24.4, ENE at 17.1 and NE at 4.8. Combined, the optimal swell sector supplies around 78 percent of the wave energy, and there are solid 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) sections in the E/ESE/ENE columns. The North Pacific storm track is waking up, and the first strong fronts of the season start to generate long-period groundswell that wraps into this east-facing beach.
Wind conditions also improve dramatically. The ideal surf wind percentage jumps to 45 percent, with WNW, NW and W winds doing the offshore work. Water temperature is still comfortable at 20.1°C, air temperature averages 17.2°C, and precipitation averages 5.40 mm/day. October rewards surfers who watch the synoptic charts and are ready to move when a low-pressure system shifts the flow offshore.
