October: Spring Swing And Building Trade Swell
October brings warmer days and a noticeable shift back toward the summer swell regime. Average wave height remains 5ft (1.6m), but the period shortens to 8.7 seconds. ENE and E swells are prominent, while SE and SSE continue to supply southern groundswell. The mix means Cronulla rarely goes flat, but the wave quality becomes more dependent on wind direction.
Ideal offshore wind drops to 25% as NE winds increase. The morning and evening windows still see opportunities, especially with lingering WSW and W flow at moderate percentages. The real asset of October is the water: water temperature climbs to 18.9°C and air temp averages 18.1°C, so sessions become more comfortable. Rainfall is around 2.04 mm/day. Expect clean early, bumpy by midday when the seabreeze really gets going.
