Puerto Escondido in October

Low season

The turn: storms space out, the coast is impossibly green, and the town stretches before high season.

Weather

Rainy season’s tail — fewer, lighter storms as the month runs; humidity easing.

Sea & surf

Swell season’s last act at Zicatela; coves clearing and calming toward winter form.

What's on

Pre-season sweet spot for prices; lagoon birdlife starting its winter build-up.
