Conditions at Playa Linda in September
September: Peak Cleanliness and Hurricane Opportunity
September is statistically the best month for clean conditions at Playa Linda, with ideal wind percentages reaching their annual peak of 47%. The average surf remains a solid 5ft (1.5m) at 13.1s - powerful and long-period - while the swell direction starts to improve slightly: SSW is still dominant at 67.2%, but true SW jumps to 14.6% and S drops to 14.9%. That extra westerly component is often a sign that a late-season hurricane is injecting proper SW/W energy into the spot. The trade winds are still pumping, so the surface can be smooth even when the swell angle isn't perfect. The downside is the rainy season: September is the wettest month with 9.45mm/day, and tropical moisture can bring heavy skies. Air temperatures average 28.1°C, water 30.1°C. For wave quality, this is one of the more promising off-season months.
