Conditions at Panton in September
September: The Autumn Awakening
The turning point has arrived. September marks the first solid step toward autumn, with average swell climbing back to 1.9m (6ft) and period lengthening to 10.2s. The NW and WNW sectors again dominate - 21.3% and 18.9% respectively - but now a greater share of that energy falls into the 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) range, signalling the return of genuine groundswell. Ideal winds improve to 25%, and while ENE still dominates the wind rose at 23.5%, the S/SW flow becomes more frequent as cold fronts start tracking toward Iberia. The ocean remains warm at 17.2°C, and the combination of early-season swell with autumnal daylight makes September one of the most underrated months to score Panton.
