October: Spring Transition and Fading Consistency
October sees average swell drop back to 6ft (1.8m) and average period fall to 8.7s, a classic springtime mix of leftover groundswell and strengthening ENE/E windswell. The favored direction window narrows to about 34.5%, with ENE and E swells dominating at 19.0% and 17.7%. The wind is the big problem: ideal wind sits at only 20%, and NE winds blow at 24.5%, making many afternoons bumpy and difficult to read. Morning sessions are essential.
Air temperature starts to warm to 20.0°C, water temperature rises to 19.7°C, and rain is moderate at 4.12 mm/day. There are still occasional S/SSW pulses from lingering frontal systems, but they are less organized than in winter. October is more about chasing windows than scoring guaranteed waves.
