Conditions at Llorente in October
October: Size Arrives, Quality Holds
October is the perfect balance of the building northeast swell and the dying southwest monsoon. Average swell height climbs to 1.1m (3-4ft) and the period reaches the year's highest at 10.3s. The swell rose shows a major jump in NE energy: NE (45.5%) and ENE (34.9%) combine for over 80% of the wave distribution, with a good mix of 0.5-1m (2-3ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft) surf. Ideal offshore winds still occur 37% of the time - down from September but far better than the winter months - and the wind direction spread is becoming more balanced. Water temp is 28.9°C (84°F), air 27.9°C (82°F), precipitation 8.97 mm/day. This is the month where size meets shape, and late-season typhoons can throw an XL, 2.5m+ bomb into the mix.
