October: The Sweet-Spot Transition
October is arguably the most interesting month in Sayulita. The average swell is 1.0m (3.3ft) with a period of 13.5s, and the direction begins its shift back toward the west: SW is still 50.4%, WSW 32.9%, W 7.5% and SSW 7.8%, with a hint of WNW returning at 0.9%. The mix of late tropical swells and early North Pacific groundswell can produce a variety of wave sizes, mostly in the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) range. Wind remains pleasant by winter standards, with ideal offshore wind at 19% and NNW/N/NE flow not yet fully re-established. Water temperature is still warm at 30.1 degrees C, air 28.2 degrees C, and rainfall drops to 4.22mm/day. This is the best chance outside winter for a day when both swell direction and wind are in your favor; the window may be short, but it is full of quality.
