October: The Autumn Reset
October is a transition month that still fires. Average surf height drops modestly to 1.5m (5ft) while the period holds at 13.3s. SSW is again the dominant swell direction at 57.2%, S accounts for 23.1%, and SW adds 8.3%, meaning favorable south quadrant energy remains the overwhelming story. Ideal wind improves to 60%, as the NW/NNW flow becomes more regular and the afternoon sea breeze weakens. Rainfall eases to 3.77mm/day, water temperature is still a warm 29°C, and air temps stay in the upper 20s. This is the classic window where the autumn weather is more settled but the ocean is still holding the deep summer swell pattern.
