October: Late-Season South Swell With Improving Winds
October offers a powerful transition at Chacahua. The average swell height is still a solid 4.9ft (1.5m), the average period is 13.3s, and the wave direction remains squarely in the sweet spot: SSW 57.2%, S 23.1%, and SW 8.3%. The height profile is exciting: SSW alone delivers 30.1% in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class and 24.6% in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class, with 2.2% in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range; S adds 15.8% and 6.6% in those same classes. Ideal offshore wind improves to 57%, and the N/NNW flow is on the increase, giving plenty of clean sessions. This is also a month when lingering Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones can throw extra, long-period SW energy into the mix. Rain is easing (4.88 mm/day), water temperature is 29.2°C, and air temperatures are a steady 28.5°C - a sneaky good month for size and cleanliness.
