October: Tradewinds Rebuild
October marks the return of a more marginal summertime pattern. Average swell is 4-5ft (1.4m) but the average period drops to 7.8s, which is a sign that short-period windswell is taking over. E swell leads at 20.1%, followed closely by ESE at 19.8% and SE at 15.9%, with ENE (12.7%) and NNE (8.4%) increasing their presence. Winds are once again dominated by the north and east quadrants: NNW (17.3%), NNE (12.1%), SE (12.6%) and ESE (10.1%), leaving just 18% ideal offshore conditions. The surf is still fun, punchy and rideable, but the quality is inconsistent and the surface often suffers under onshore flow. Water temp rises to 22.5°C, air temp averages 21.3°C, and rain creeps back up to 2.79mm/day.
