October: Shoulder-Season Sweet Spot as the Winds Relax
October is the classic shoulder month. Average swell height settles to 1.3m (4-4.5ft) with a 11.4s period; S swell still accounts for 82.5% but the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class has shrunk to a 13.6% share, making it more manageable. Ideal wind is 48%, and with 5.69mm/day of rain, the wet season is still lurking but not overwhelming. Water temperature warms to 25.9°C. The ocean is generally more user-friendly than June-August, and quality shoulder-high waves are among the most fun of the year.
