Conditions at Wyldewood Beach in September
September: First Autumn Stirrings
September is the bridge between summer flatness and the winter swell season, though the numbers still look bleak. Average wave height creeps up to 0.4m (1.3ft), period to 3.4s, and the S/SSW/SW/WSW quadrant begins to reassert itself with SW at 15.3%, SSW at 11.7%, S at 7.2% and WSW at 8.1%. Most waves are still under 0.5m, but the first cold fronts can produce 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) windswell pulses. Wind conditions are mixed: onshore SW/WSW/S/SSW still totals about 42%, while N/NNE/NE/ENE offshore flow reaches 20%; ideal wind stays at 0%. Average air temperature is 17.8°C, precipitation averages 2.60 mm/day, and water temperatures are still warm from summer. It is not yet good, but the trend toward larger, more organized windswell is beginning to show.
