Conditions at Honky's in October
October: Transition and Trade-Offs
October is the hinge month between monsoons. The favorable swell sector is still present - WSW (19.5 percent), SW (13.3 percent), SSW (12.0 percent) and S (10.9 percent) - but the average period drops to 7.6s and overall height eases to 3ft (1.0m). W (29.4 percent) and WSW (20.3 percent) winds remain frequent, though WNW (20.3 percent) and NW (7.4 percent) offer enough offshore windows to keep the surf alive. Ideal wind sits at 39 percent. Water temp is 29.0°C and precipitation is 5.64 mm/day. October is a mixed bag: on the right day you'll find clean, punching 3-4ft (1-1.2m) waves, but intervals of flatness and lumpiness are just as likely.
