Conditions at Blaketown Wedge in October
October: Spring Storminess and Onshore Chaos
Spring is a volatile time along the West Coast, and October doesn't hold back. The average swell remains powerful at 2.0m (6.5-7ft), but the directional spread tells a story of shifting storm tracks: the WNW and NW components grow, bringing more northerly energy into the Wedge. The wind stats take a serious hit, with the ideal offshore percentage dropping to 36 percent as WSW and W winds reassert themselves. October is also the wettest month on average, with 6.10 mm/day of precipitation - expect passing squalls and rain-bowed horizons. The best surfing often comes before the rain arrives, when a low moves offshore and drags an ESE breeze across the coast. It's on, but the forecast needs to be watched carefully.
