September: The Hurricane Season Wildcard
September is the biggest average swell month of the year at La Bocana, with waves averaging 5.6ft (1.7m) at a strong 13.2s period. SSW remains the primary driver at 53.7%, while S adds 24.0% and SW chips in 10.7%, meaning the beach is rarely flat. The vast majority of the surf sits in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) band, with the SSW 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class at 28.9% and even some 6.5-8ft+ (2-2.5m+) bombs from SW. Wind is ideal 43% of the time, but WSW (13.8%) and W (12.0%) flows are still common, mixed with E/ENE mornings. This is the heart of hurricane season, so the swell forecast can jump quickly: tropical storms and hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific generate both the largest, cleanest south swells and the most severe onshore wind events. With water temp at 29.9°C and heavy precipitation of 6.31mm/day, September is a true wildcard-capable of both epic, pumping sessions and complete washouts.
