Conditions at Kai's Place in October
October: The North Pacific Roars Back
October is the real kick-off of the high season. The average swell climbs to 2.5m (8.2ft) at 10.4s, and the direction split shows a defined WSW at 19.9% and SW at 16.7% core, with a good amount of 1.5-2.5m energy. More importantly, the autumn storm track begins to fire, throwing multiple swell pulses at the west-facing coast. The wind pattern stays friendly: SE at 12.3%, SSE at 12.2% and ESE at 8.9% are dominant, while the onshore W/NW flow is only around 11% combined. Ideal wind is 25%, but clean windows can last for days under cool, unstable fall flow. Water temperature is still a reasonable 10.7°C (51.3°F), air averages 8.0°C, and precipitation ramps to 10.07 mm/day. October combines the first serious groundswells of the season with reasonably mild conditions - one of the best balance points of the year.
