October: Two Seasons Fighting Over the Same Beach
October is the definition of a transition month. Average swell remains 4ft (1.3m), but period drops to 8.5s and favourable winds fall to 27%. The swell mix is a tug-of-war: winter's SSE (24%) and SE (16%) still supply power, while ENE (15%), E (13%) and ESE (12%) bring back the classic east swell. Winds become more variable: NNE/NE flow increases to around 21%, regular S/SSE flow continues, and W/NW offshore flow still accounts for roughly 19% of observations. Water temperature warms to 18.9°C and air averages 18.0°C. October's best days come when an early-season E/SE groundswell lines up with a west or northwest morning breeze. After that window closes, sea-breeze chop often takes over.
