Conditions at Olende in September

September: Swell Still Solid, Wind Still Wrong

September is a month of untapped potential at Olende. The swell averages 3ft (0.9m) at 12.4s, and the SW component rises to its highest share yet-26 percent-adding a slightly different angle to the southwest-facing beach. More than 22 percent of the waves fall in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, so there is real power available. But ideal wind conditions remain at 0 percent, with SSW and SW winds combining for about 75 percent of the observations. The first rains begin to return as the ITCZ shifts, but the onshore monsoon flow still rules. For now, the potential is mostly a distant dream until the wind regimes shift later in the year. Water temperature starts to warm up at 26.2°C (79°F).
