Conditions at Costa Azul in October
October: Fading Heat, Rising Hope
October marks the transition away from the summer's monotonous S/SSW regime. Average heights ease slightly to 1.1m (3.6ft), period 12.8s, and the wind is ideal 76% of the time, with WNW, NW and W flows picking up again. The swell direction is still dominated by S (60.1%) and SSW (34.7%), but the SSE component (3.7%) and the scarce SE/ESE pulses (a total of 0.4%) start to show more life. The ocean temperature is still warm at 29.4°C, and air temps average 27.4°C. As the North Pacific storm track begins to awaken, thin threads of east-angled energy start to cross as shorter-period windswell before the long-period groundswells of winter arrive. These are the early signs that Costa Azul is emerging from its summer doldrums. While the consistency is not there yet, the atmosphere is changing, and those who are patient are rewarded with occasional clean, fun sessions.
