Conditions at Shipwrecks in September
September: Peak Cyclone Energy
September is the peak of the eastern Pacific hurricane season, and it shows in the swell data. Average height holds at 1.2m (4ft), but the distribution is heavier: 9.5% of the month is in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range and 2.8% is between 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft), with even a tiny sliver of energy over 2.5m. S at 64% and SSW at 27% provide the power, and the SSE component is also at its seasonal high. However, this is the worst month for wind consistency, with only 55% ideal, the lowest of the year. Rain peaks at 3.25mm/day and water temperature is a balmy 29.8°C. September is a high-risk, high-reward month: when a hurricane or tropical storm tracks just right, Shipwrecks can be heavy and firing, but do not expect many all-day clean sessions.
