Conditions at El Jadida in September
September: The First Real Pulse of Autumn
September is a quiet-to-promising shoulder month. The average wave height nudges up to 4.3ft (1.3m) and the average period improves to 10.5s, which is enough for a clean, fun-sized wave on the better days. The swell rose still favors NNW (56.2%) and NW (35.9%), but WNW (5.3%) and W (1.0%) add a little more west in the mix as the North Atlantic begins to wake up. Wind conditions show the first subtle shift: ideal offshore flow climbs to 16%, while NNE (31.8%) remains dominant and NE (15.1%), NNW (14.9%) and N (10.5%) still account for a lot of the breeze. The combination of warm summer water, ambient air temperatures and early autumn groundswell makes September a sneaky-good month if you can find a morning with light S/SW winds. Air temp averages 22.7°C (min 15.9°C, max 37.4°C), water temperature is 22.0°C, and rainfall starts to tick upward at 0.86 mm/day.
