October: Late Season, Fading Reliability
October is where the summer easterly winds start to reclaim Anne Avenue. The wind data shows a significant turn: the onshore ENE/E/ESE/SE flow climbs to 40.0%, while the ideal-wind window falls to just 21%, the lowest of the year. Swell remains chunky - 9ft (2.8m) at 11.1s - and the direct E/ESE/SE window improves to 10.6%, so there are still waves. However, they are increasingly accompanied by bumpy, onshore surface conditions. The best sessions in October are early in the morning before the thermal E wind kicks in, or after a cold front pushes through and brings W/WNW winds. Water temperatures warm to 17.3°C and air to 17.4°C, but the surf is on the downside of winter.
