October: Energy Returns, Trades Fight Back
October sees the swell machine rev up further, with an average height of 1.9m (6.2ft) and 61% of wave energy from the optimal ENE-SE window. Yet clean surf becomes more difficult to find, as ideal wind drops to 19%. The trade wind flow from ENE and NE accounts for 46.6% of observations, leaving only short-lived offshore episodes during frontal passages. Periods shorten to 8.6s, taking the punch out of the bigger swell. Water temp climbs to 18.8°C, air reaches 18.8°C, and precipitation peaks at 5.13 mm/day.
