October: Cleaner Skies, Long Swell, and Better Winds
October is where La Bocana starts to shift back to quality-over-quantity. Average height remains solid at 5.2ft (1.6m) with a 13.0s period, and the southern quadrant still dominates-SSW delivers 47.4% and S another 20.9%. The surf is powerful, with plenty of 3-6.5ft (1-2m) waves and occasional 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) sets from SSW and SW. But the big change is wind: ideal conditions jump to 55% of the time, the best since November. The North Pacific subtropical high begins to rebuild, bringing more N/NE/NNE flow, while S/SW onshore winds shrink to a minor role. Rain decreases to 3.10mm/day, water temp is still warm at 29.1°C, and air temp averages 20.6°C. October is the perfect transition month-you get the last reliable pulses of summer south swell, but with a much higher chance of offshore morning glass and clean conditions.
