September: Hurricane Season Stirrings
September is the turning point. The average height is still 4ft (1.2m), but the period jumps to 8.8s and the energy begins to shift back toward the NE. ENE leads at 48.7%, NE adds 19.6%, E supplies 21.2%, and NNE returns at 6.9%, with N and NNW contributing a combined 1.3%. That means the preferred northern quadrant accounts for roughly 28% of the total - still not winter, but enough to produce occasional clean, fun-size waves between trade-wind-blown days.
September also has the highest ideal-wind percentage of the year at 54%, with ESE (31.8%), E (22.1%) and SE (22.1%) dominant, but light offshore windows are more frequent. This makes it the best of the summer months at Destroyers. Water temperature peaks at 28.9°C, air temperature averages 27.9°C, and precipitation is 2.57 mm/day as tropical shower activity increases. It is not time to get too excited, but the fading summer lull finally breathes its last.
