October: The Best Mix of Size and Clean Wind
October delivers the strongest combination of size and quality. Average swell climbs to 1.1m (3.5ft) and period peaks at 10.3s - the best wave period of the year. The swell distribution shifts toward the NE, which now accounts for 45.5% of the total; ENE follows at 34.9% and NNE at 12.2%. This produces a solid build of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf, with occasional 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets. Ideal offshore wind is still present 39% of the time, especially from W/SW/WNW, even as the NE monsoon begins to reestablish itself.
With air at 27.9°C, water 29.0°C and rainfall 8.97mm/day, October is still warm and only moderately wet. This is the month for first light sessions with offshore texture and real power.
