September: Biggest Averages, Messier Conditions
September posts the largest average swell of the year at 6-7ft (2.0m), and there is real power in the water. Periods sit at 9.2s, and the distribution shows a healthy push into the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range - this is pumping potential. But the trade wind machine is starting to strengthen: ideal wind drops to just 20%, while NNE and NE winds combine for over 43% of the observations. That means many of the biggest days arrive with cross/onshore bump, limiting how often Camacho is truly glassy.
Spring is beginning: air temp 18.2°C, water temp 18.0°C, rainfall up to 4.43 mm/day. The S/SSW direction is still present (S 10.7%, SSW 2.1%), but the swell is increasingly mixed with ENE/E/ESE (about 42%). For the patient surfer who can read the wind charts, September holds some of the heaviest waves of the year.
