Conditions at Nago in October
October: Longer Periods Return
October marks the transition back toward larger surf. Average height rises slightly to 3ft (0.9m), and the period jumps to 10.1 seconds, putting it back in the powerful long-period class. NE and NNE swell combine for 65 percent of the total, with ENE at 15 percent and a growing N/NNW component near 16 percent. The stronger north-northwest tendencies align better with Nago's west-facing exposure, meaning clean days start to produce more lined-up waves. The wind still favors offshore flow: E 20 percent, ESE 17 percent, SE 11 percent, and ENE 10 percent, with ideal conditions at 66 percent. This is one of the better months for fun 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) surf with occasional bigger sets. Rain is minimal at 4.97mm/day, air temp is 28.3°C, and water temp is back up to 29.7°C.
