Conditions at Jeffreys Bay in October
October: Spring Onshore Battle
October sees the lowest ideal wind percentage of the year at 33%, as the spring sync between swell and wind gets out of phase. Average swell height drops to 9ft (2.8m) and period to 11.1s. The E/ESE direct swell window is actually well represented - E 2.7% and ESE 3.9% - which is good for this east-facing spot. However, the onshore E (13.7%), ESE (6.9%), and ENE (10.8%) winds blow frequently, ruffling the surface and destroying the clean shape. WSW (18.0%) and W (12.0%) still offer hope, but they are less consistent than in winter. Water temp is 17.0°C, air temp averages 17.4°C, and precipitation increases to 1.61mm/day.
