October: Post-Monsoon Rebirth
October is where the surf season starts to turn on. Average swell height settles to 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m), but the period lengthens to 10.8s, and the dominant swell directions are SSW and SW with a good WSW component. Most waves are in the clean 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) range, though there are occasional 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and even 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets from the south-southwest. The monsoon swell is fading, but the ocean is still full from the previous months.
The wind regime is much friendlier. Ideal offshore wind conditions return to 47% as the Northeast Monsoon starts to re-establish; E, ENE and ESE winds share the wind rose more evenly with the fading W/SW onshores. Rain eases to 7.89mm per day, air temperature is 27.5°C, and water remains warm at 29.0°C. This is a prime window for punchy, long-period surf with clean conditions before the smaller winter swell fully sets in.
