October: Shoulder-Season Gold
October bridges the gap between winter power and summer lull. The average swell remains a solid 6.9ft (2.1m) with a 12.0s period, while ideal offshore wind frequency climbs back to 29%. Trade winds are still present, but lighter and less aggressive than midwinter, creating more manageable surface conditions. Swell direction is still favorable-SSE and S account for nearly 45% of the total, with SSW adding 9.7%-so the reef sees regular 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) groundswell. This is one of the better months for experienced surfers who want size without the brutal winter wind ratio. Air temp 25.4°C, water 26.5°C, and rainfall begins to edge up at 2.98 mm/day.
