Conditions at Caridad in October
October: The Crown Jewel Month
October is the absolute best month to surf Caridad. The northeast monsoon begins to build, firing long-period groundswell from the North Pacific, while the southwest monsoon is just reluctant enough to keep the winds offshore. Average swell height jumps to 1.1m (3.6ft) with a period of 10.2s -- the longest average period of the year. The waverose lights up with NE (49.1%), NNE (20.0%), and ENE (14.2%), and a solid 30% of the energy comes in at 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft) with even some 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) sets. Meanwhile, ideal wind holds at 31% of the time, with WSW (13.0%) and W (11.4%) leading the offshore flow. Water temperature is still a warm 29.3°C, air 27.9°C, and precipitation rises to 8.26 mm/day. When the stars align -- a touch of west wind with a NE groundswell -- Caridad turns on with clean, rippable, sometimes firing waves. Book your trip now.
