September: Peak Hurricane Season - Beast or Bust
September is the climatological peak of the eastern Pacific hurricane season, and it shows in the numbers. Average swell height nudges up to 5.6ft (1.7m) - the largest of the year - while SSW (53.7%), S (24.0%) and SW (10.7%) keep a steady stream of southern energy marching toward the coast. Periods remain solid at 13.2s. When a hurricane or strong tropical storm churns off the Mexican coast, Playa El Mojon can see XL, charging waves well above 8ft (2.5m). But when the storm tracks unfavourably, the same system can ruin conditions with onshore winds.
Ideal wind sits at 45% - not great, not terrible - and rainfall is among the highest of the year at 6.31 mm/day. Water temp stays warm at 85.8°F (29.9°C), air at 70.0°F (21.1°C). This month rewards the crew who can chase the charts and score the biggest, most powerful groundswell of the year between the rain squalls.
