October: The Cleanest Month of the Year
October is the statistical peak for wind quality at Virac Harbour. Ideal offshore wind reaches 41%, by far the highest of any month, as the northeast monsoon re-establishes itself and the southwest monsoon fades away. Average swell is 0.7m (2-3ft) with a 7.5s period--modest size, but the frequent N/NW winds can turn those smaller waves into clean, lined-up runners by local standards.
Swell direction is dominated by NE at 36.7% and ENE at 29.1%, with NNE 15.8% and N 2.6%. Wind is split between NE 15.7%, ENE 13.2%, NNE 12.0%, NNW 8.9%, NW 5.6%, and N 3.9%, giving a much larger share of offshore flow and a better chance of groomed conditions. Rain increases to 12.24 mm/day and water is 29.2C. October is often the month to be in the water.
