September: The Swell Machine Starts Turning Again
September is when the swell engine begins to rev up again. The average height is still small at 0.6m (2ft), but the period jumps to 9.9s, and the NE/ENE swell component strengthens - NE returns to 21%, ENE to 31%, and E to 19%. This is the leading edge of the northwest Pacific storm season and the first pulses of the northeast monsoon. Wind is still mostly from the S/SSE/SW quarter, with ideal conditions a full 37% of the time. As a result, September often produces better quality surf than the height of summer: small, clean, and occasionally a sneaker swell pushes into the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range. Rain is low at 6.0 mm/day, and water temps remain warm at 29.4°C.
