October: Dirty South Breeze, West Swell Promise
October is a tantalizing month at Gaukendi Bridge. The swell direction improves significantly - now 36% of the energy is arriving from SSW, SW, WSW, and W, with a large chunk of that in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range. The average swell height is 1.5m (5ft) with a period of 10.5s, and there are some serious groundswell pulses rolling in. But the wind is the dealbreaker: ideal offshore wind is just 14%, while W (19%) and WSW (20%) howl onshore for extended stretches. The good news is that the monsoon is becoming less stable, so windows of lighter winds or short east bursts do occur. Water temperature sits at 29.1°C, air temps at 27.5°C, and rainfall is the highest of the season at 6.15 mm/day. If you're willing to surfer the stormy, rain-squall conditions, October can offer some of the most powerful west-swell surf of the year - just be prepared to share it with the chop.
