September: Autumn Hints Among the Summer Chops
September is a month of change, and you can feel it in the numbers. Average swell height sits at 1.2m (3.9ft) and the period climbs back to 9.5s, signaling the return of more organized northwest energy. The direction mix is healthy: N 30.5%, NNE 31.9%, NNW 31.1% and NW 5.2%. The wind, however, is still working against quality. NNE blows 50.3% of the time, N 17.2% and NNW 13.2%, leaving ideal offshore conditions at just 3 percent. Still, the longer-period pulses that sneak in from the North Atlantic are a sign of things to come. Water temperature peaks at 22.7°C, air temps average 22.9°C, and rain is still scarce at 0.20mm/day. Catch the early morning windows, especially when a passing low-pressure system swings winds to the south.
