October: Stellar Swell with a Summertime Hangover
October continues the tropics-influenced pattern, but with a slight downshift in size. Average swell height is 5ft (1.5m), with a long-period average of 13.4s. The direction profile is even more SSW-dominant than September: SSW accounts for 72.7% of all swell, with SW (15.4%) and S (8.8%) as supporting players. The majority of the SSW energy sits in the 1-1.5m (45.9%) and 1.5-2m (23.6%) ranges, so the lineup remains very consistent and powerful.
Winds are still good. Ideal offshore flow is at 44%, reinforced by SE (9.0%), SSE (6.2%), and ESE (6.4%). The west/onshore quadrant remains subdued. As the calendar progresses into late fall, air temperatures cool slightly to 26.3°C, water is still warm at 29.8°C, and precipitation eases to 3.35 mm/day. October offers many of the same benefits as September, with a little less rain and still plenty of long, glassy La Saladita gems.
