Conditions at San Pedrito in October
October: Autumn Transition
October is a beautiful transition month on the Baja California coast. The average surf height is 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), the period is 13.4s, and the direction mix is broad: SW (32 percent), WSW (28 percent), W (18 percent) and SSW (16 percent). That is a strong, favorable blend for San Pedrito, with enough westerly energy to create a solid platform and enough south to keep the reef and sandbar sections linking. Wind reliability climbs back to 57 percent ideal as NNW (31 percent), NW (26 percent) and WNW (18 percent) re-establish themselves. Water temperature is still warm at 29.0°C, air temperature averages 26.7°C, and precipitation falls back to 0.73 mm/day. The quality meter swings upward; autumn is underrated here.
