Conditions at Telescopes in October
October: Quality Fades into the Wet Season
October is the tail end of the good season. Ideal wind still sits at 50%, but the trade wind field is less reliable as the northwest monsoon approaches. The wind rose shows a growing number of NW (9.2%) and NNW (10.4%) events alongside the SE/SSE flow. Swell averages 4ft (1.2m) with a 13.7-second period, still long enough to produce meaningful waves. The direction mix is back to mostly SSW (60%) and S (31%), while the offshore WSW/W window remains small. Rain increases to 10.83 mm/day, and water temp drops to 28.8°C. October can reward those who time the breaks between monsoonal pulses, but the consistency of July and August is starting to fade.
