October: Transitional Windows Between Tropical Rain and Winter Offshore Flow
October is the bridge between the tropical wet season and the cleaner winter dry season. The average swell height remains solid at 5ft (1.5m), and nearly 80 percent of the wave energy comes from the SSW, making it a directionally focused month for the beach. The wind score improves to 55 percent ideal as the first wintertime cold fronts begin to push across the region, bringing more N/NNW winds. Rainfall is still substantial at 5.15mm/day, and water temperatures stay warm at 29.9°C. Some of the best October surf comes in the windows after a front or tropical system passes: clean offshore winds, long-period south swell, and glassy conditions that make you forget the stormy days.
