October: Shoulder-Season Mix
October is a transition month. Average swell height ticks up to 6.2ft (1.9m) and period extends to 10.8s as the North Pacific begins to reawaken. The waverose becomes more mixed: ENE (29.1%), NE (18.7%), NNE (13.0%) and E (12.9%) are all significant, while NNW jumps to 9.0% and N to 5.0%. For Kalapaki, the south-facing window narrows again to 1.2%, but the longer periods mean any wrapped-around southeast or south energy will have more push.
Wind is split between ENE trades (42.7%), E (21.1%) and a rising south component; the ideal wind share remains solid at 38%. Water is still warm at 26.6°C, air at 25.7°C (21.9-28.7°C), and rainfall increases slightly to 1.94 mm/day. October rewards patience: pick a clean morning with light offshore N/NNW flow, and you might find a small glassy south pulse.
