October: Last Big Push of the Southern Season
October is still firing. Average height remains at 4.3ft (1.3m), period 13.1 seconds, and ideal wind sits at 60%. The swell source is still southern, with SSW at 68.3% and SW at 24.6%. Although lower-end waves are plentiful, the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class still appears about 13% of the time, and there are more 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) pulses than earlier in the year. Tropical activity can add size but also tends to mess with the winds; ENE (18.4%) and E (13.3%) are still the leading offshore directions, but WSW and SW surface winds pick up in the afternoon. Water temp is 28.8°C, rainfall is high at 9.60mm/day, and air temps average 27.3°C. This is the tail end of the best season - chase the windows between storms.
