October: The Calm Before the Dry-Season Surge
October is a transition month, and it shows in the data. Average swell height is still a respectable 1.3m (4.3ft) with a 13.0-second period, but the distribution starts to come down from the summer peak. SSW remains the dominant swell direction at 78.5%, with SW at 15.0% and S at 5.1%. A notable 1.5-2.5m (4.9-8.2ft) component is still present from SW and SSW, keeping the door open for fun-sized to solid waves. Wind quality improves compared to September: ideal surf wind rises to 60%, and the northern quadrant is better represented, with NW 8.5%, NNW 9.5%, NNE 8.6%, NE 5.6% and N 3.2%. Precipitation drops to 6.00mm per day, air temperature averages 26.2°C and water temperature is 29.2°C. As the Eastern Pacific storm track winds down, K59 gets more stable mornings and cleaner surfaces - a sign of the good winter months ahead.
