Conditions at Vizag in October
October: The Magic Window Opens
October is when Vizag transforms. The northeast monsoon is established, and favourable wind jumps to 54% of the time, with the cleanest flow coming from N, NW and NNW. The swell energy also shifts back to the ideal envelope: SSE (35.9%), S (30.3%), SE (14.4%), ESE (8.7%) and E (5.5%). Average surf is in the 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) range with a 9.5s period, so you get both shape and power. The SW/SSW onshore winds that defined the summer have faded, and the SSE-facing coast now gets groomed by offshore northerlies. Add in occasional Bay of Bengal tropical cyclones and you have the potential for pulses of longer-period E/SE swell bursting through the October average. Water temp is a warm 29.5°C, air temp 27.4°C, and rain is high at 7.23 mm/day but often falls in short tropical bursts. This is the month to start planning around.
