October: Fading Monsoon, More Wind Swell
October is still in the low-quality zone, but the character of the ocean begins to shift. Average swell height eases to 1.5m (5ft) with a 10.0s period, and the swell mix spreads out: SSE (34.6 percent), S (29.2 percent), SSW (15.8 percent), SW (8.2 percent) and WSW (4.1 percent) all contribute. The 1.5-2m range remains common from S/SSW, but there is less of the June-August massive SSE energy. Ideal wind is only 19 percent, and W (23.9 percent), WSW (22.3 percent), WNW (13.2 percent), SW (12.5 percent) still hold the wind rose.
Rainfall is 5.97 mm/day, air temp 27.6°C, water temp 29.2°C. October is a month of transition: enough swell to keep reefs grinding, but regular onshore flow and deteriorating periods make it hard to find quality. Keep an eye on the synoptic charts for a NW/NNW pulse that can crack the door open.
