Conditions at Wabasso in October
October: Full Autumn Goldmine
October is the jewel of the Wabasso calendar. The average swell height climbs to 0.9m (3ft) with a period of 8.5s, and the ENE quadrant explodes - 43.2% of all swell observations come from the ENE, with NE another 19.9% and E with 21.5%. Those are the exact directions this beach loves, and a substantial 2.8% of the time the swell is running 1.5-2m (5-6ft) plus. But here's the catch: the wind comes from ENE (18.1%), NE (14.4%) and E (12.0%), so the same swell that lights up the beach can also tear it apart. Ideal offshore wind only shows up 17% of the time. The trick is waiting for a low-pressure system to drag a westerly wind behind it - then October delivers long, powerful, perfectly groomed lines. Air temps average 24.6°C, water still 27.2°C.
