Conditions at Superbank in October
October: Onshore Regime Takes Hold
October is statistically the toughest month for wind quality, with ideal conditions just 36% of the time. Average period slips to 7.4s, and although swell height holds at 3ft (1.0m), the dominant directions remain E (23%) and ESE (19%), mixed with 17% ENE and 14% SE. The wind field is dominated by NNW at 22%, with NNE and N adding another 15% - directly onshore for the Superbank. That combination produces choppy, mushy, low-quality surf that often checks below its size. On the bright side, occasional Southern Ocean fronts still push S-SSW changes through, and water temp sits at 21.5C as air temps begin to climb.
