October: The Northeast Monsoon Rebuilds
October is when Car-rille starts to wake up again. The average swell height climbs to 0.7m (2-3ft) and the period lengthens to 7.7s, with the wave direction shifting back to NNW at 66.1 percent. There is also a healthy mix of N (8.2 percent), NW (6.7 percent), WNW (5.6 percent) and W (4.7 percent) swell, meaning more of the energy is arriving closer to the ideal west-facing window. The distribution is solid: 30 percent of the total swell sits in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) class, with 8 percent at 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and a few larger waves from the NW/WNW directions. Ideal winds improve to 23 percent as the northeast monsoon strengthens, but S and SSW winds still appear frequently enough to chop things up. Water temperature is 29.2°C and rain has backed down to 8.93mm/day. Good month for a dawn patrol.
