October: Size Returns, But Winds Bite
October is a transitional month with serious upside. Average swell height reaches 0.9m (3ft) and the average period stays solid at 8.1s. The swell direction is heavily favorable, with ENE at a season-high 39.0%, E at 24.8% and NE at 17.2%. Better yet, there is a meaningful increase in 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft) and 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) waves, especially from ENE, making this one of the better months for actual surf size. The major problem is wind: ideal conditions drop to 11% because ENE at 18.0%, E at 14.0% and NE at 13.3% are so dominant. These onshore winds often ruin what would otherwise be good east swell. Patience is key, and the clean windows after frontal passages or overnight offshore breezes can dish out some of the best waves of the fall. Air temperature cools to 25.1°C, water temperature remains warm at 27.1°C, and rainfall eases to 3.92 mm/day.
