September: First Signs of a New Season
September is the bridge back to reality. While the average swell is still modest at 5.6ft (1.7m), the period has climbed back into the powerful range at 10.5 seconds - a sign that the Atlantic is beginning to stir. Swell directions are classic autumn: NW (33.5 percent) and NNW (33.1 percent) share the load, with WNW (15.5 percent) making a significant move. The wind also starts to ease, with the ideal offshore window improving to 15 percent, although NNW remains dominant at 40.4 percent. Water temperature peaks at 18.7°C, making a 3/2 wetsuit adequate for most. Air temps average 19.3°C, and rainfall is still light at 1.08 mm/day. As the jet stream begins to dip south, the chance of a solid NW groundswell in the 6-8ft range with clean offshore winds increases every week. For the savvy surfer, September offers the first real windows of quality surf after the summer drought.
