October: The Monsoon Flip-Flop
October begins to lose the clean, consistent SW-W connection. The swell still has excellent shape, with WSW (19.5%), S (10.9%), SSW (12.0%), SW (13.3%) and W (14.3%) present, but the SSE component (16.9%) is growing and the average period drops to 7.6s. Average height is around 3ft (1.0m). Ideal wind falls to 39%, as W (29.4%) and WSW (20.3%) dominate and bring more onshore texture. Rainfall stays high at 5.64mm/day, water is 29.0°C and air is 27.5°C. You can still find excellent days when a low-pressure system pushes S-SW groundswell beneath a northwest wind, but consistency begins to crack as the northeast monsoon reasserts itself.
