Conditions at La Rinconada in September
September: Spring Tension Builds
September brings the first signs of spring and a rebound in consistency. Average size settles at 6.5ft (2.0m), the period is still a strong 12.8s, and ideal wind rises to 51%. The swell rose is again dominated by SW and WSW, together around 70%, but the W and WNW windows provide a little more shape for the northwest-facing spot. The 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) band is the heart of the surf, and there are fewer flat days than in summer. Offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW winds are becoming more reliable again, with onshore N/NW flows limited to about a quarter of the time. Rain eases to 2.26mm/day, air temperatures slowly rise to 11.6°C and water holds at 12.1°C. Winter's size is still present, but the windows are starting to clean up.
