October: Big Autumn Swell, Shifting Winds
October is the transition from summer south swells to winter westerlies. The average height remains solid at 1.5m and the period stays in the 13.4s range, with a dominant 73 percent of waves from the SSW and a useful 15 percent from the SW. Tropical cyclone activity can still send significant W/SW swell into the region, and the ideal-wind score stays high at 45 percent as the easterly land-breeze pattern strengthens. Rainfall eases to 3.35 mm/day, water is still warm at 29.8°C, and the mix of size and clean surface makes October one of the best bet months of the fall.
