October: Maximum Size, Stormy Skies
October keeps the average swell at 3.6ft (1.1m) and brings a more westerly mix, with SW energy rising to 12.7% alongside 87.3% SSW. This broadens the swell window and keeps period at a respectable 12.9s. Wind is the gatekeeper once again: ideal offshore E/ESE/SE/SSE flow drops to 20%, while WNW and W onshore winds combine for about 40% of the wind rose, often at 10-20kph. Rain peaks at 9.2mm/day, so the point can turn stormy and chopped. When a clean offshore window does open up, however, October can throw powerful 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) lefts with real drive.
