October: Late Hurricane Energy Meets Autumn Transition
October keeps the summer surf machine going as the Eastern Pacific hurricane season lingers. Average wave height remains 4-5ft (1.4m) with a 13.4s period, but the background swell is still heavily SSW (80.3%) with S at 6.6% and SW at 11.6%. This is another month where the prevailing direction underdelivers; the ocean may look tempting, but Playa Linda will be lacking the cleanest pitching faces unless a hurricane or tropical storm brings a more westerly angle. Wind quality is still good - ideal offshore flow occurs 44% of the time - and the drying trend begins as rainfall drops to 4.39mm/day. Air temperatures remain warm at 28.1°C and water at 29.9°C. Keep an eye on the tropics: an October cyclone in the right spot can suddenly create the best surf of the autumn.
