October: The Transitional Sweet Spot
October is the pivot back toward dry-season surf. Average swell height remains a solid 1.4m (4-5ft), the period is a strong 13.4 seconds, and SSW is responsible for 80% of the energy. There is still 5-8ft surf on a regular basis, so size is not an issue. Better yet, the wind pattern is shifting: ideal wind climbs to 47%, NE flow becomes more common, and the strongest onshore WSW winds weaken. Rain drops to 4.39mm/day and water temperature stays warm at 29.9°C. This combination of late-season power and improving surface conditions can make October one of the more exciting months to be in the water.
