September: Hurricane Season Lurks
September is the quietest month on average at Gibara, with the mean swell dropping to 0.8m (2.6ft), though the average period improves to 6.4s - a reflection of distant tropical systems sending in longer-period pulses. E and ENE swells combine for nearly 87% of the wave energy, with ENE at 33.9%, so the angle is good. The percentage of ideal wind increases to 4%, the best since spring, but E (40.1%) and ENE (22.6%) still dominate. Water temperature is a warm 29.0°C, air temperature is 28.4°C and precipitation is 2.72 mm/day. Surfing is mostly small and soft, but any passing hurricane or major tropical wave can briefly transform this coastline into punchier, more powerful east-swell conditions.
