September: Autumn Hints, Tropical Echoes
September is a genuine transition month. The swell rose is still dominated by S (21.2%) and SSW (18.1%), with SSE 12.2% and SE 9.9%, but the NNW wave share grows to 8.0%, and the wind compass tilts offshore: NNW 20.2%, N 8.9%, NW 4.1%. Average height remains a flat 1.5ft (0.5m) and average period drops to 4.8s, so the ocean can be choppy and disorganized even when direction improves. Still, the combination of late typhoon-boosted S/SSE swell and increasing N/NNW offshore winds can line up for clean 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) days; ideal wind is 5%. Water temperature stays warm at 19.3°C, air averages 17.5°C, and precipitation drops to 3.04mm/day. September is one of the most pleasant months to hunt the first clean autumn crumblers.
