Conditions at Blaketown Wedge in September

September: Still Pulsing, but the Wind Loosens

September is a shoulder-month riddle at the Wedge. The swell actually reaches its annual maximum average of 2.1m (7ft) with a period of 12.3s, and the W/WNW storms keep pumping groundswell through the window. However, the wind balance shifts: the ESE share drops back to 17.6 percent, and the ideal offshore wind percentage falls to 46 percent. That means more days of onshore W/NW regimes blowing out an otherwise epic swell. The sessions that do align can be enormous - there's a real chance of overhead-to-double-overhead wedges thumping the shoreline. Keep a close eye on the synoptic chart and be ready to pull the trigger whenever a high-pressure ridge noses in from the west.
