October: Transitional Groundswell With a Monsoon Twist
October is the gateway back to the wet season and it brings a strong return of SSW swell: nearly 88 percent of the waves are from the SSW, with about 12 percent from S. Average height is 1.2m (4ft) and period is 13.5s, so there is plenty of organized energy. The trade winds are still hanging on: SE, SSE and ESE directions combine for about 79 percent of the wind distribution, and ideal wind percentages stay at 11 percent. As the monsoon trough begins to stir, expect occasional showers, storm fronts and shifting winds. If you can find a day with a N/NE offshore breeze, October will rival any month for wave quality, with 2-6ft (0.6-1.8m) lines wrapping down the point. Air temps average 25.6C, water warms to 28.1C, and rainfall increases to 2.30mm/day.
