September: The Wildcard Month
September is the statistical wildcard at Los Patos. It has the lowest average height of the year at 2.6ft (0.8m) and the shortest period at 6.3s, but it also offers the highest ideal wind percentage -- a still-low 6 percent. The swell mix shifts a bit: ESE 72 percent, SE 21 percent, and E 5 percent, with the first real appearances of S and SSW energy close to the optimal swell direction, although they remain statistically tiny. The trades ease slightly, with ENE dropping to 38 percent, while variable offshore directions become more common. Air temperatures are around 26.1°C, water reaches its warmest at 29.2°C, and rainfall is significant at 1.88mm/day. If a tropical storm passes well to the north, expect a short-lived pulse of more southerly swell along with shifting winds; otherwise it remains a grovelly, small month with occasional magical windows.
