October: Long-Period Gold Between the Seasons
October is where Puri's surf season truly lights up. The average swell height is only 0.9m (3ft), but the average period jumps to 11.0s - the longest of the year - giving even the small surf a clean, powerful push. S swell leads at 61.5 percent, SSE adds 25.9 percent and SE 6.6 percent, an ideal distribution for the SSE-facing beach. Meanwhile, the wind flips dramatically: ideal offshore N/NNE/NW/NNW flow blows 42 percent of the time, and the onshore SSW/SW dominance is broken. Clean, glassy 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) waves become common, with occasional bigger sets wrapping around the sandbars. Rain drops to 5.44mm/day, air averages 26.7°C and water temp remains warm at 29.6°C.
