Conditions at Curl Curl in September

September: Spring Showdown

September is a classic spring transition month. The average swell is around 5ft (1.6m) with a 9.0s period, and ideal wind remains respectable at 37%. Swell is still substantial from the winter window, with SSE (17.5%), S (16.4%), SE (10.8%), and E/ENE/NE around 8-9% each, but the E/SE summer swell types are slowly re-emerging. Wind tables show NNW (11.2%) as the leading direction, with W (8.9%), NW (7.7%), WNW (7.2%) and WSW (7.6%) still offering offshore and clean windows. However, NE (7.4%) and NNE (7.3%) are on the rise, and the afternoon sea breeze is becoming a more regular feature. Water temperature sits at 18.4C, air averages 16.3C, and precipitation is low at 1.68mm/day. Dawn patrols with a fading NW wind are the highest percentage play, although the occasional winter-like front can still produce an all-day gem.
