October: Transitioning Back to Clean
October is the handoff from sloppy wet-season conditions back to prime dry-season form. Average swell height is 5.2ft (1.6m), period is 13.0s, and SSW at 47.4% plus S at 20.9% still dominate the swell window. The NE/ENE component also starts reappearing at around 6.5%, hinting at the approaching winter mix. Height distribution remains meaty in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) range, with plenty of quality S/SSW groundswell. The big improvement is wind: ideal offshore flow jumps to 57%, with WSW/W winds dropping and N/NNE/NE winds becoming more regular. Rain eases to 3.10mm/day, water temp remains warm at 29.1°C, and air temps are pleasant around 20.6°C. October is a classic month for scoring consistent south swell before the winter crowds arrive.
