October: Toward Cleaner Autumn Water
October is a transition month. The rain eases slightly to 6.00mm/day, ideal wind holds at 57%, and water temperatures start to drop to 29.2°C. Average height is 4.5ft (1.3m) with 13.0s period. The swell window is again SSW-heavy (78.5%), with SW at 15%, producing a good mix of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf - around 72% - and 20% in the 5-7ft (1.5-2m) class. NNE/NE offshore flow is rebuilding, so mornings become noticeably cleaner than late summer. A late-season hurricane or tropical storm can still upset the pattern, but the overall trend is toward better dry-season consistency.
