Conditions at Malik's in September
September: Transitional Energy and Strong Onshore Winds
September is a classic transition month. The southwest monsoon still holds, with S (25.3%), SSW (34.3%) and SW (21.0%) swells dominating and an average period of 11.5s. Average height drops slightly to 1.3m (4ft), but solid 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) pulses still arrive from SSW/WSW. Wind quality, however, remains poor: only 8 percent ideal, with WSW (20.0%), W (26.1%) and WNW (17.8%) combining for nearly two-thirds of all observations. The combination of active swell and onshore wind makes September more about heavy, lumpy reformations than clean surfing. As the monsoon transitions toward the northeast, occasional late-month offshore mornings become more common. Rain averages 6.34 mm/day, one of the wettest months, while air temperature is 27.6°C and water temperature is 29.1°C.
