October: Mixing Swells and Turning Winds
October is a classic transition month. The southwest monsoon is weakening, and the first pulses of northeast monsoon weather begin to creep back. Ideal wind drops to 44 percent, but W winds are still the largest single category at 29.2 percent, with WSW at 23.6 percent and WNW at 16.3 percent. The swell picture becomes mixed: SW at 19.1 percent, SSE at 19.0 percent, SSW at 17.2 percent, S at 17.1 percent, WSW at 16.4 percent, and SE at 7.8 percent. This creates a blend of lingering south-southwest swell and early east-southeast windswell. Average height is around 4ft (1.2m) and the period is 6.6s. Some solid 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) pulses can still roll in from the SW/WSW quadrant, but quality depends on how often the west wind holds off the returning easterly breeze. Air temperatures stay at 27.5°C, rainfall is 6.52mm/day, and water temperature is 28.7°C.
