October: Best Mix of Power and Clean Winds
October is arguably the pick of the calendar at Tago River. The average swell rises to about 4ft (1.3m) and the period lengthens to 10.4s - the highest of the year - signaling proper long-period energy. The directional distribution is heavily weighted toward the good stuff: NE (55%), NNE (25%) and ENE (14%) combine for about 96% of the waves, with most in the head-high 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and a solid dose of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) swell. Crucially, ideal offshore wind is still observed 46% of the time, while onshore NE winds have dropped to around 24%. This is the month where Tago River can offer genuinely clean, powerful, rippable surf on the NE-facing sands. Chase it when a North Pacific low or late-season typhoon aligns with a S/SW offshore flow.
Air temp averages 26.7°C (23.4-33.4°C), rainfall starts to increase at 8.09 mm/day, and water temp holds at 29.4°C.
