September: Hurricane Season Swell and the Lowest Wind Scores
September is a classic south-swell month with a catch. The average wave height rises to 1.1m (3.6ft) and the period is still a respectable 13.0 seconds, but the wind ideal percentage falls to 64% - the lowest of the year. Swell directions are heavily SW (59.9%) and SSW (24.2%), with a notable increase in the 1.5-2.5m range (2.8% + 0.5% from SW, 2.3% + 0.6% from SSW), thanks to tropical storms and hurricanes spinning up off the Mexican coast. These can deliver powerful pulses of south-southwest groundswell. The problem is the wind: southwesterly and southerly winds often accompany these systems, and the persistent summer rain (11.26 mm/day) hampers surface texture. Water temp is 30.4°C and air is 27.5°C. Scoring days come from early morning or when a hurricane's outer swell outruns its wind. It's a trade-off - size versus quality.
