October: Waiting on the Autumn Reset
October is the toughest month for reliable surf. Ideal wind plunges to 29%, the lowest of the year, and average period sits at 6.1s with a small 0.6m (2.0ft) swell. The SE quadrant still leads the swell rose (40%), with ESE (25.1%) and E (15.1%) behind it, and for the first time in months there is a slightly stronger S/SSW presence (3.4% combined) as early-season systems get more involved. The problem is local wind: N/NNE offshore pulses are less frequent and the S/SSE onshore flow is prominent. October is also the wettest month, with 2.57 mm/day of rain, so plan for morning glassy windows between showers. The autumn transition is starting, and late October can occasionally fire if the first real cold front reaches the tropics.
