October: Autumn Groundswell Begins to Rebuild

October is the first month where the long-period groundswell signal really returns to Ngor Rights. Average swell height rises to 1.5m (4.9ft), and the period jumps to 11.1s - approaching that powerful long-period range. The direction shifts sharply back to the optimal NNW quadrant, with NNW at 78.5% and NW at 16.7%. That gives the reef much more organised, consistent energy. Winds are still in transition: NNW (32.3%) and NW (11.5%) remain significant, but N (12.4%) and NNE (9.9%) are rebuilding as the trade-wind regime re-establishes. Ideal wind occurs about 9% of the time, so patience is needed, but the swell quality is clearly improving. Water temperature remains warm at 28.6°C, air averages 27.9°C, and rainfall eases to 1.56mm/day.
