Conditions at San Augustin in October
October: Transition With Tropical Potential
October is a transition month, but it can still produce plenty of quality surf. Average heights are around 5ft (1.6m), the period holds at 13.0s, and SSW remains the primary source at 47.4%. S adds 20.9% and SW 6.9%, with the full favorable SSE-SW window at around 81%. Meanwhile, the NE/ENE share begins to creep back - that energy is often less efficient at this south-facing spot, so size alone doesn't tell the whole story.
Winds are ideal 57% of the time, with NW and NNW offshore flow still common. Precipitation eases to 3.77mm/day, air averages 28.6°C and water temperature sits at 29.1°C. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season is still active, so if a low-latitude cyclone drifts into the right position, October can deliver a last batch of very powerful, oversized surf before the winter pattern sets in.
