October: The Real Comeback
The North Pacific roars back to life in October. Average swell height jumps to 7.5ft (2.3m) and period to 11.7s, giving Brookings the first proper long-period groundswell of the season. The swell rose is led by WNW (24.2%) and NW (18.3%), with W (13.4%) and NNW (8.1%) filling out the spectrum; WSW (4.5%) and SW (1.6%) make occasional appearances. The wind is still in the surfer's favor - ideal flow 55% of the time - and the NNW (19.7%) and NNE (12.0%) directions keep the surface reasonably groomed between frontal passages. Water temp peaks around 11.9°C, air temps average 13.1°C and rain increases to 3.23 mm/day as the jet stream ramps up. October delivers that autumn sweet spot: serious swell before the full-blown winter wind chaos takes over.
