Conditions at Meio da Baja in September

September: The First Signs of Autumn

September is the bridge from summer to autumn. Average swell rises to 5.6ft (1.7m) and period improves to 10.5 seconds, which is enough to make Meio da Baja more interesting. The direction remains dominated by NW and NNW, but WNW swell also has a stronger presence. You start to see more organized lines and a few clean head-high plus waves.

Wind is still predominantly NNW, with ideal conditions only 15% of the time. But the Atlantic is stirring, and the first autumn lows can deliver cleaner groundswell before the wind fades. With water temp at 18.7°C and air around 19.3°C, this is an excellent month for chasing the first real swell of the season in a spring suit.
