Conditions at Badoc Point in September
September: The Sweet Spot
September is arguably the best month on the calendar for Badoc Point. The average swell height is 4ft (1.2m), the average period is 7.5s, and, more importantly, the favorable swell window jumps dramatically. The NNW direction supplies 10.0% of all swell, WNW 3.6%, NW 3.2%, and W 4.6%, giving the beach a combined 21% share of correctly angled energy. This is the highest favorable-direction percentage of the year.
Wind is nearly as good, with ideal wind at 53%, the second-best value of the year. Rain remains heavy at 11.90mm/day and water temperature is 29.7 degrees Celsius, but that is the price of the active tropical season. When a West Pacific typhoon or South China Sea low injects longer-period W/NW groundswell under an E/SE offshore flow, Badoc lights up. It will not fire every day, but the statistical chance of lining up the right swell angle and clean wind is better than in any other month.
