October: The Autumn Switch Flicks On
October is when Hash Point wakes up for real. Average swell height climbs back to 6ft (1.8m), and the average period stretches to 11.6s - powerful, long-period territory. The wave rose still favors NNW (53.1%) and NW (30.4%), but the WNW slice grows to 3.7% and W shows up at 0.6%, a subtle sign that the Atlantic low-pressure tracks are migrating south again. Wind conditions are ideal 54% of the time, with E (7.4%) and NNE (7.4%) providing offshore options before the NNW cross-shore flow builds. The ocean water is still warm at 18.9°C, air temps average 21.2°C (14.9-30.6°C), and rainfall starts to return at 0.60mm/day. Early autumn lows can produce some of the most pleasant big-morning surf of the season - warm water, clean winds, and just enough western angle to make the point work.
