September: The Late-Summer Transition
September marks the final act of the tropical/southern-hemisphere swell season. The swell rose still shows 87% coming from S/SSW, with periods holding around 13.3s, but the northeast quadrant starts to wake up as autumn approaches (NE/ENE totals begin to nudge upward). Ideal wind improves slightly to 25%, although NNE flow remains the dominant wind at 31%. It is a month of opportunity: plenty of long-period swell in the water, and every now and then a cool front or tropical disturbance swings the wind into the offshore SW/W quadrant. When that happens, expect clean 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) waves at the point. Otherwise, onshore breezes and heavy tropical downpours (6.63 mm/day) make it a wait-and-grin month. Water stays warm at 29.9°C.
