Conditions at Caloundra in October
October: More Offshore Wind, Less Swell Power
October keeps the clean theme alive with 23% ideal wind frequency, again driven by a strong NNW component (17.3%). But the swell is now noticeably spring-like. Average period falls to 7.3s and height sits around 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m), with E (20.1%), ESE (18.0%), ENE (14.8%) and SE (13.6%) making up most of the energy. The increased presence of NNE (11.2%) and NE (8.7%) swell means more windswell with a bit less consistency. Still, on a good day, the combination of east swell and offshore north-west wind can produce fun, hollow wedges along the beaches. Water temperature warms to 22.4°C and precipitation remains modest at 2.67mm/day.
