September: A Wildcard of Power
September is a wildcard at La Barqueta. Average swell remains at 1.3m (4.3ft) with a period of 12.9 seconds, and the mix of SSW (77 percent) and SW (23 percent) means the beach sees a broad range of southwesterly energy. Wave heights are solid: around 77 percent of waves are in the 1-1.5m (4-5ft) range, and nearly 14 percent reach 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft), plus a small percentage of 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) sets. But the wind is still firmly in the wet-season pattern. W (20 percent) and WNW (21 percent) combine with WSW (14 percent) to create frequent onshore and cross-onshore conditions. Ideal wind is only 36 percent. This is the core of the rainy season, with 8.84 mm of rain per day, air temperatures near 23.9°C and water cooling slightly to 28.5°C.
