October: Fall Swell Lights Up the NE Window Again
October is the comeback month. The wave rose shows a sharp increase in the ideal NE/ENE swell window-NE 8.9%, ENE 2.9%, E/ESE 3.9%-while the average period remains healthy at 12.9s. You can feel the change in the air: rain decreases to 2.90 mm/day and sea surface drops to 28.9°C. However, ideal wind is only 19%, and N/NNE winds still blow 62% of the time. So October often has more size and direction than June, but the surface can be messy. Look for a passing high-pressure cell that injects west/southwest winds; those days produce excellent, grinding 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) waves as the new season's northern-hemisphere groundswell kicks in.
