October: The Final Firing Window Before the Monsoon
October is a transition month, but it can still offer all-time Macaronis. The average swell height eases to 4.9ft (1.5m) and the period is 13.5s, which remains strong. The wave rose is dominated by SSW (55%) and S (34%), with the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) classes both very well represented; there is still a good chunk of 6-8ft (2-2.5m) SSW energy. Ideal wind still sits at 50%, with SE (24%), SSE (14%) and ESE (10%) making their presence felt before the northwest monsoon reasserts itself. This can be a phenomenal month if you catch the last few weeks of trades. Water temp is 28.6°C, air averages 27.1°C, and rainfall begins to climb at 9.0mm/day. Chase the period and the wind direction, and October will reward you.
