Conditions at Dwarka in October
October: The Autumn Reset Brings Long-Period Swell
October is a pivotal month. Average swell height drops to 2-3ft (0.8m), but the period jumps to 11.7s - one of the longest of the year - so the waves that do arrive are groomed, groundswell-driven lines. The swell direction is again excellent, with SSW, SW and WSW contributing the vast majority of energy, and the height distribution shows a strong peak in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range with some 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets.
The big change is the wind. Ideal flow climbs back to 29 percent as NNE and NE breezes start to appear, and NNW/NW winds still dominate but are less destructive than the summer WSW. Rainfall drops to just 0.30mm/day, air temps sit at 28C and water temp is 28.2C. October is when Dwarka starts to look like a surf spot again: clean, long-period and rideable.
