Conditions at Tuason Point in September

September: The Peak of the Year

September is, on paper, the best all-round month at Tuason Point. Average swell ticks up to 0.8m (2.6ft) with a punchy 9.5s period. The wave direction is more mixed - NE (27.1%), ENE (22.7%) and NNE (11.4%) - but the arrival of W (6.0%) and WNW (3.5%) swell from typhoons adds the quality component this spot craves.

Ideal offshore wind peaks at 38%. The wind rose reveals W (16.4%) and WNW (8.6%) flows becoming quite regular, along with NW (4.3%) and NNW (3.9%). This combination of longer-period swell and clean offshore wind is rare for this coast, and September delivers it more often than any other month. Expect clean, rippable 3-4ft (1-1.2m) waves on the sets, with occasional 5ft (1.5m) bombs if a typhoon is in the area. Water is 29.5°C and rainfall is still moderate at 6.3 mm/day.
