Conditions at Playa El Toro in September
September: Peak Offshore Flow
September is statistically one of the cleanest months of the year. Ideal offshore wind maxes at 73%, the average period remains at 13.5s, and swell is almost entirely from the south - SSW 97.3% and SW 2.4%. Around 45% of waves are in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) range and 51% in the 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) range, with only about 4% in the 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) class. Tropical instability waves and east Pacific cyclones can occasionally add extra energy. The NE/ENE/E/ESE swell window remains closed, but the long, clean southern pulses and steady SW-WSW offshore flow create very user-friendly conditions. Air temps are 26.7°C, water 28.9°C, and rainfall peaks at 11.60 mm/day.
