October: The Norte Machine Restarts
October is where Anton Lizardo really starts to sing again. The Gulf's autumn transition brings a noticeable jump in average swell height to 1.0m and period to 6.4s, with the swell rose showing 72.5% of wave energy arriving from the optimal N, NNE, NE and NNW directions. NNE (24.1%) and NE (27.8%) provide the bulk of shoulder-to-head-high fun, while NNW (9.8%) often pushes into 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) territory after a strong cold front. The complication is wind: NNW is the dominant breeze at 30.3%, and ideal south-to-southwest offshore flow drops to just 16%. You have to time the tail end of fronts or the post-frontal light-wind windows. Water is still warm at 28.6°C, with air around 25.1°C. October is the wildcard month - when the elements align, the reward can be great.
