October: Transition Month, With Fading Wind
October marks the beginning of the long transition back toward cleaner winter conditions. Average swell height eases to 3-4ft (1.1m), the period remains a solid 11.1s and the swell direction returns to a more S-dominated distribution: 76.6% S and 23.1% SSW, with 50.3% of the total energy in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class. The wind field remains challenging, with SW 36.5%, SSW 24.9% and WSW 17.6%, but the stronger onshore blows are noticeably less common than in July-September. Ideal wind ticks up to 3%, and the absence of any wind above 20kph means the ocean is less wild.
Water temperature rises to 26.6°C, air temperature is 25.9°C and rainfall increases to 4.79mm/day. October needs patience. The swell is still good, the wind is improving and every day brings you a step closer to the cleaner months ahead.
