Conditions at Lawrencetown Beach in September

September: The Ocean Wakes Up

September is the turning point. Average wave height rebounds to 4ft (1.2m) and period jumps to 8.5 seconds - a big improvement from the summer doldrums. Swell directions light up from SSE (17.4%), S (19.0%), SSW (18.6%) and SE (12.7%), while the SW (8.1%) remains a player. More importantly, the first autumn cold fronts begin pushing through the Maritimes, delivering those clean NNW/offshore wind windows. Ideal wind climbs to 34% and water temp is still a pleasant 14.8°C (58.6°F), making this arguably the most comfortable month for good surf. Tropical systems can also add a wildcard: hurricane swell from the S/SSW tends to find this coast extremely well. September is essentially the start of the high season, just with a warmer wetsuit.
