Conditions at Golf Course Reef in September
September: Spring Transition and a Mix of Swells
September brings a change of season. Average wave height is 6ft (1.8m), period settles at 8.7s, and ideal wind drops to 48%. S swell is still the biggest single source at 19%, but NE energy becomes significant again at 11%. This produces a mixed bag: some days with clean S groundswell and offshore W/NW winds, and other days with building NE windswell and more onshore tendencies.
Air temp warms to 15.4°C, water temp starts rising at 16.4°C, and rainfall is at its lowest of the year at 1.95 mm/day. You will need to chase the synoptic windows in September, but when a high-pressure system parks over the continent, the reef can be excellent.
