October: Transition Back to Clean Lines
October is a pivotal transition month. The swell average holds at 5.9ft (1.8m) with a 13.5-second period, and SSW produces an overwhelming 83.1% of the waves, with a beautiful peak in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range at 45.9%. This is still powerful, long-period groundswell. The wind regime begins to shift: ESE drops to 25.8%, SE to 27.2%, while S, SSW, SW and WSW winds all strengthen, and offshore W-WNW flow starts to reappear-ideal wind rebounds to 22%. Rain is still scarce at 2.30mm/day, air temp warms to 25.6°C, and sea temp rises to 27.8°C. It is not yet prime, but the first truly clean sessions of the season become possible, especially when synoptic lows disrupt the trades.
