October: The Fall Transition
October begins the fickle transition from hurricane season toward winter groundswell. Average height eases to 1.1m (3-4ft), period remains a solid 12.8s, and the S/SSW combo still accounts for 95% of the swell energy, with S at 60% and SSW at 35%. The wind picture improves a bit, with ideal conditions at 61% and a better mix of W and WNW offshore flow. Rain drops back to 0.82mm/day, though water is still a warm 29.4°C. This month offers a nice balance: a good chance of clean, chest-to-shoulder-high surf without the intensity of August and September.
