October: The Last Big Push Before the Trades Return
October keeps the same high standard as September but with a slight shift in character. Average height remains 1.3m (4ft) and period 13.1s, while SSW (68.3%) and SW (24.6%) together make up 92.9% of the wave rose. The SW component is growing, bringing more west in the swell, which is great for a WSW-facing beach. Water is still tropical at 28.8°C, air at 27.3°C, and rainfall remains high at 9.60mm/day. The wind picture gets messier: ENE (18.4%), E (13.3%) and NE (7.3%) still lead, but WSW (7.9%), SW (6.8%) and W (6.0%) make up about 21% onshore flow, dropping ideal winds to 60%. The consistency of good, long-period SSW groundswell is still excellent; just be patient for the windows when the trade winds win the battle.
