October: The Monsoon Handoff and More Power
October is a transition month with more punch. The average swell height jumps to 5.5ft (1.7m) and period to 7.9s as the northeast monsoon begins to assert itself. The dominant swell directions are NNE (45.7%) and NE (20.2%), but the N (5.1%) and NNW (4.3%) components remain important. Combined with the W/NW window, the favorable total is around 8%. That is not huge, but the source energy is stronger and longer-period than summer, so the waves that do make it into the bay have more push.
Wind is clean and favorable 57% of the time, the best percentage of the year, with NE (32.4%) and ENE (17.9%) dominating and plenty of E/SE offshore options in the mornings. Rain drops to 6.36mm/day and water cools to 28.7 degrees Celsius. October is essentially the handoff between Habagat and Amihan; typhoons can still add big W/NW swell, and the improving wind makes Badoc far more surfable. This is a genuine top-tier month.
