Conditions at Finnimas in September
September: Late Monsoon Quality
September is a transitional month with a lot of potential. The swell is still solid at 1.3m (4.3ft) and the period is a healthy 11.5s. A full 65.2% of the wave energy comes from the preferred directions, with SSW (34.3%) and S (25.3%) leading the charge. The wind remains onshore-orientated, however - W (26.0%), WSW (21.1%) and WNW (17.5%) are the dominant players, keeping ideal wind at 35%. Still, the easing intensity of the monsoon means more variable conditions, and the increasing frequency of NW/NNW flow can make for classic Maldivian morning glass. Water temperature is 29.1°C, air temp 27.6°C, and precipitation is 6.63mm/day. September is a decent pick for surfers who know how to read the wind and don't mind a few messy days for the chance at a memorable barrel.
