Conditions at Cacimba do Padre in September
September: The Longest Windy Stretch
September is climatologically one of the worst months for clean surf at Cacimba do Padre. Ideal wind plummets to 1 percent, tied for the lowest of the year. The wave spectrum is 63.7 percent SE and 23.1 percent ESE, with short average periods of 9.6s. Average height remains a solid 6.2ft (1.9m), but it is overwhelmingly trade-wind swell generated by a strong South Atlantic high. The trades blow from E/ESE/SE at 20-40kph with almost no let-up, making the beach a choppy, cross-shore mess. With no N/NNW/NW swell in the water, there is little chance of the bowl doing what it does best. The dry season is firmly in place (0.33 mm/day), with water temp at 26.5°C and air temps around 24.6-27.1°C. The few surfable windows are rare and usually favor the most experienced locals.
