October: Clean Transition, Still Plenty of Punch
October begins the slow transition out of peak summer, but Puerto Escondido still sees excellent swell. Average heights hold at 5ft (1.5m) with a 13.3-second period. The SSW window remains dominant at 64.9 percent, with S at 20.2 and SW at 10.1 percent. A solid portion of the energy is still in the 1.5-2m range, and there is a smaller but meaningful 2-2.5m contribution from SSW and SW. For a transition month, the surf quality is still very high.
Wind consistency is also good, with ideal offshore flow 35 percent of the time. WNW, NW and NNW combine for around 39.5 percent of the wind distribution, while the W component holds at 11.2 percent. This means more cross-offshore and offshore texture than the messier spring months. The dry season starts to reassert itself as rainfall drops to 4.11 mm/day, air temperatures average 22.5°C, and water temp eases to 29.5°C. October is a great time for smaller crowds and still-serious waves.
