September: Maximum Swell, Minimum Clean Windows
September is the climax of the rainy season and the most difficult month for finding glassy conditions. The swell is still pumping: 4.6ft (1.4m) average at 13.6 seconds, with a big SW component (41 percent) and SSW (59 percent). The distribution shows many waves in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range-more than a third of the total when you combine SSW and SW. But ideal wind plummets to 40 percent. WSW and W together blow 56 percent of the time, frequently in the 10-30kph range, making surfaces bumpy and cross-shore. Air temperatures are 26.5°C, water 28.3°C, and precipitation peaks at 10.75mm/day. Patience and a flexible schedule are essential.
