October: The Best Shot at Real Waves
October is the closest Isla Chepillo gets to a surf season. Average swell height reaches its yearly high at 0.5m (1.6ft), and the distribution shows a real jump: 26.9% of waves are in the 0.5-1m (1.5-3.3ft) range, with 0.8% reaching 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft). The direction is an ideal SSW at 99.6%, so the beach is fully exposed to the prevailing south-southwest pulse. The downside is wind and period. The average period falls to 8.1s, and onshore S/SSW/SW/WSW winds total 46.3%, making the sea surface prone to bump. Still, when a solid SSW pulse meets a brief early-morning offshore or cross-shore lull, there will be a few rippable, groveling waves. Ideal conditions are only 2%, but this remains the most promising month for a surf. Air temps average 26.7°C, precipitation is 7.76mm/day, and water temp is 28.7°C.
