Conditions at Jupiter Inlet in October
October: Full Fall Mode
The North Atlantic starts roaring in earnest. Average swell height is back to 4ft (1.2m) with 8.2s periods, and the swell distribution is dominated by NE (34%) and ENE (34%) - exactly the directions that Jupiter's east-facing exposures soak up. Solid 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) energy appears regularly, and a few sets push even bigger. The complication is that the accompanying wind is often ENE or NE as well. You want a cold front to swing winds around to the W/NW, turning the same swell into clean lines. Air temps are still warm at 25.9°C, water is 27.8°C, and rain drops to 4.2mm/day.
