Conditions at Lances Right in September
September: Still Waiting for the Monsoon Shift
September is only a slight improvement over August at Lances Right. The ideal-wind reading creeps up to 25%, still far too low for consistent quality. The swell is again excellent on paper: 1.0m (3.3ft) average height, 13.4s period, with S and SSW directions producing 43.6% and 40.1% of the distribution. There are plenty of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves, especially from the S and SSW. However, SE winds remain anchored at 29.5%, with SSE at 20.7% and ESE at 10.1%, so Lances Right continues to look soft and lumpy on most afternoons. Rain picks up to 7.9mm/day and the water temperature cools slightly to 28.8°C, but the real relief will only come with the northwest monsoon's return later in the year.
