September: Autumn Arrives With a Pulse
September is where things start to wake up again. Average swell height rises to 5.2ft (1.6m), the period jumps back into the long-period range at 10.5s, and the NW and WNW directions supply most of the energy. There are more solid 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) pulses and a noticeable increase in quality compared with July and August. Wind statistics improve to 41 per cent ideal, with a more reliable mix of ENE/E/ESE/SE offshore mornings, while the nortada weakens. Water temperature is still warm at 16.5°C, air averages 18.8°C, and rainfall begins to edge up at 2.21mm/day. September often delivers a first taste of real autumn groundswell - clean, powerful and still warm enough for a summer suit.
