Conditions at Pine Trees in October
October: The Pacific Reawakens
October marks the turning point of the surf year at Pine Trees. Average swell height climbs back to 3ft (0.9m) with a solid 13.6s period, and the direction spread begins to rotate: S at 35.2% and SSE at 14.0% are still important, but SSW at 19.1%, SW at 10.1%, WSW at 8.2% and W at 6.0% are gaining ground. The first strong mid-latitude storms of the North Pacific winter can send W/WNW groundswell toward the islands, and when those align with WSW/W swell, the reef can see excellent 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves. The offshore wind frequency improves to 19%, and good sessions become more frequent, especially in the mornings. Water temp is still warm at 26.7°C, air temp averages 26.3°C, and precipitation begins to increase to 1.72mm/day.
