October: The Great Transition
October is the pivot month in Bucerias. The swell average is 3ft (1m), the period is a strong 13.5s, and the direction is still heavily weighted toward SW and WSW, with a noticeable SSW component from any last tropical activity. At the same time, the first North Pacific winter swells begin to appear. This mix gives Bucerias a broad, consistent diet of long-period waves from the optimal southwest quadrant.
The wind story turns back in your favor. Ideal conditions jump to 73 percent as autumn high pressure builds, and rainfall drops sharply to 4.55mm/day. Air temperature averages 27.4°C and water temperature remains warm at 30.1°C, so the water is still bath-like. October is a classic shoulder month where the wave quality of summer and the clean winds of winter finally overlap.
