October: The Size Comes Back
October is a transition month where the northeast monsoon begins to reawaken, and the surf size steps up noticeably. Average wave height jumps to 4-5ft (1.4m), the period reaches 9.6 seconds -- right at the edge of feeling powerful -- and the swell window shifts to NE (41.6%) and ENE (31.4%). That extra size comes with a price: the NE/ENE winds that generate the swell also blow onshore, and ideal wind drops to 20%. Still, 20% is far better than the winter months ahead, and the last pulses of the southwest monsoon can still deliver clean days.
When the wind does swing offshore, Lucky Point offers proper head-high waves in the 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) range with longer-period lines and real push. Rain increases to 12.24 mm/day, water temperature is a warm 29.2°C, and air temps average 27.6°C.
