Conditions at Isdhoo in October

October: More Size, More Variability

October is a transition month with a final burst of energy. Ideal wind drops to 32%, but the wind rose is still mostly offshore: W (30%), WSW (23%), WNW (17%), SW (9%) and NW (5%). Average swell is 4ft (1.2m) with a 6.6s period. The wave rose is more mixed than midsummer: SW (19%), SSE (19%), SSW (17%), S (17%) and WSW (16%), with a notable share of 5-7ft (1.5-2.1m) energy from the WSW/SW quadrant. This can produce punchier, more powerful waves when the wind is good, but it can also get messy when the monsoon fronts bring stronger west/northwest gusts. Rain 6.5mm/day, water 28.9°C. Prime time for the opportunistic surfer.
