October: Monsoon Flip and Wind Variance
October is the shoulder month between the southwest and northeast monsoons. The average swell drops slightly to around 3ft (0.9m), but the period remains healthy at 8.6s, and the swell direction gets more mixed: SSE still leads, but SE, E, ESE and ENE all contribute. This is a great forecast-watching month: if a westward-moving Bay of Bengal disturbance lines up, it can send larger, longer-period ENE-E swell straight into the Shore Temple. The wind picture becomes a grab bag, with SW, NNE, NE and S all represented; ideal offshore flow still happens 32% of the time. Rain increases to around 7.7mm/day, and both air (27.5°C) and water (29.6°C) stay warm. Be ready for everything from glassy offshore mornings to stormy, blown-out afternoons.
