Conditions at White Plains Beach in October
October: Two Oceans in the Mix
October is a true transition month. The North Pacific starts waking up, adding some NW (3.5%) and NNW (4.1%) long-period energy, while the remnants of the south swell still hang on - ESE (11%), SE (7.6%), SSE (5.9%) and S (3.7%) make up about 28% of the mix. The two biggest swell windows are unfortunately from E (22.3%) and ENE (20.5%), which are not ideal but can still produce clean lines if the wind cooperates. Average size ticks up to 5ft (1.5m) with an 11.5s period. Trades blow ENE 56.3% of the time, but ideal wind frequency rises to 19%, often thanks to post-frontal northerly surges. Water remains warm at 26.8°C, air 25.8°C, and rain begins to pick up to 1.83 mm/day.
