Conditions at Boulevard in September
September: Longest Periods of Summer
September is arguably the sweet spot. Average wave height climbs slightly to around 2.5-3ft (0.7-0.9m), and the average period jumps to 10.1s, the first month of real long-period potential. ENE (40%), NE (26%) and E (17%) combine to fill the east-facing beach with more organized lines. Wind remains favorable, with WSW (12%), W (12%), SW (13%) and WNW (7%) keeping the surface clean; ideal wind peaks at 59%, the highest all year. The growing typhoon frequency in the western Pacific can deliver overhead sets during this month, especially when a distant tropical cyclone pumps long-period ENE swell while the southwest monsoon keeps the wind offshore. Air temp averages 28.0°C, rainfall is 7.15mm/day, and water temperature is 29.3°C.
