Conditions at Los Quebrantos in September
September: The First Autumn Whisper
September is the first month that whispers autumn. The average swell rises to 1.1m (3.6ft) and the period stretches back to 10.2s - a sign that the Atlantic storm machine is waking up. Ideal wind jumps to 41%. NW swell again rules at 45.5%, with NNW at 31.1% and a growing WNW component of 6.0%. There is now a greater share of 1-1.5m waves, especially from NW (16.4%) and NNW (10.5%). The wind regime remains warm-season dominant - ENE (16.4%) and E (10.7%) - but the S/SSW/SW offshore quadrant is back up to 12.1%. Water is still warm at 19.0°C, air averages 17.8°C, and precipitation edges up to 1.94mm/day. September can be a sneaky good month if an early North Atlantic low or distant hurricane sends long-period NW energy.
