I honestly can’t say. Manatees are known for grouping around Springs in the cold winter months. October is early for the grouping, however seeing one at any time of year is amazing. I am a Native Floridian and can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen a manatee in the wild, aside from the winter grouping. Sorry I can’t be more help. Good luck! I say any time of year is a good time to try and see them. I would call the springs and ask them.
