Conditions at Nalvo in October
October: Monsoon Flip Brings Life
October is where the season starts to fire. The northeast monsoon re-establishes itself, ideal wind days jump to 44 percent, average wave height rises to about 3.5ft (1.1m) and period stretches to 7.7s. The dominant swell sources are NNE (36.0%) and N (26.2%), with NNW (15.3%) providing the more favorable angles for a west-facing beach. True W/NW groundswell is still limited, but the WSW-to-NW sector accounts for around 14 percent of the rose, and lingering typhoons can offer the odd proper west pulse. Rainfall drops to 7.44mm/day, water is 28.9°C and air averages 25.3°C. With lighter ENE-to-SE offshores becoming the norm, Nalvo starts producing clean, rippable 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves on the better NW pulses.
