Conditions at Cimaja in September
September: Still Blown Out
September continues the low-quality theme as the trades refuse to let go. Average swell is 1.9m (6ft) with a 14.1s period, and the direction mix shifts even harder to S: S swell provides a massive 70% of the distribution, with SSW at 20% and SSE at 5%. The ocean is far from flat, with most waves in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range. The problem remains wind: ideal offshore flow is just 3%, and SE, ESE and SSE winds combine to dominate nearly the entire wind rose. The persistent cross-onshore trades keep the surface messy, and while there will be occasional lighter-wind windows, September is generally one of the most difficult months for scoring clean waves at Cimaja. Air temperature is 25.1°C, water temperature drops to the year's minimum at 26.9°C, and precipitation stays dry at 2.9 mm/day.
