September: Autumn Swell Returns
September is a genuine turning point. Average swell height jumps back to 1.2m (4ft) and average period rises to 9.3s, giving the surf more punch than the summer months. The W/WSW axis is again the workhorse, with WSW at 28.4 percent and W at 17.7 percent, and the northwesterly components WNW, NW and NNW combine for 24.3 percent, keeping the beach active in the optimal swell window. Wind quality improves significantly: ideal offshore conditions run at 49 percent, with SE at 14.7 percent, ESE at 12.4 percent and SSE at 6.5 percent. Sea surface temperature is still pleasant at 11.9C and air temperature averages 9.9C, though precipitation increases to 4.27 mm/day. September delivers the first true autumnal swells and a greater chance of clean, long-period lines as North Atlantic lows begin to organize. It shares the shoulder with April, but with warmer water and a more energizing pattern - and that makes it the better of the two transition months.
