Conditions at Punta del Confital in September
September: The Autumn Reawakening
September is the month when hope returns. The average period climbs back to 9.8s, giving the waves a bit more push and shape, and ideal wind hits a yearly high of 66% - by far the best wind statistic of the year. The wave direction is still dominated by the north: N (39.6%), NNW (38.2%) and NNE (18.4%) make up 96% of the energy, and the true SW-W window sits at zero in this dataset. But the ocean has more life than it did in July or August. NNE (36.4%) and NE (22.5%) winds groom the surface, water temp peaks at 23.6°C, air averages 22.8°C, and rain starts to edge upward. This is a crossover month: still warm and fun-sized, with an occasional long-period pulse that hints at the coming winter.
