Conditions at G-Land in October
October: Last Stand of the Dry South
October is a golden transition month. Ideal wind remains solid at 61%, with SE (30.8%), ESE (21.3%), and SSE (18.9%) keeping the reef clean for a large chunk of the time. Swell averages 1.8m (6ft) with a long 13.7s period, and the direction is dramatically focused: SSW delivers 83.7% of all waves, with the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) classes totaling over 66%. That is a phenomenal shape: long-period south energy hitting a groomed reef. Rain begins to inch upward at 2.17 mm/day, water temperature warms to 26.6°C, and the first signs of the monsoon appear. As long as the trades are still blowing, October can offer some of the cleanest, most waves-per-day sessions of the year.
