Conditions at Cauit Point in October
October: The Magic Transition Month
October is arguably the most reliable month for clean surf at Cauit Point. The northeast monsoon has begun in earnest, with wave heights averaging 0.7m (2-3ft) and periods reaching 10.2s - the highest of the year. Swell direction is almost entirely NE (44%) and ENE (29%), with 14% from NNE. What makes October special is wind: ideal surf wind occurs 50% of the time, more than any other month. The SW/W offshore component is well represented as the monsoon transitions, and NNW winds add a cross-offshore element to groom the lines. It may not be the biggest month, but when those longer-period NE swells meet a morning offshore, Cauit Point delivers clean, rippable waves with real push. Water temps are 29.3°C and air temps 27.7°C.
