September: First Whispers of Autumn Swell
September is a month of transition. The average swell height is still low at 1.4m (4.6ft), but the period begins to lengthen to 10.0s as the first Atlantic lows start to nudge south. The distribution is still heavily NNW (57.4%), with N (21.0%) and NW (9.8%) following. However, the bulk of wave heights remain in the 1-1.5m range, with only 20% reaching over 1.5m.
Wind remains the limiter. NNE is still a stubborn 49.0%, and NE adds another 14.4%, keeping conditions onshore for the majority of the time. Offshore wind only occurs 3% of the time. Water temps are warm at 23.0°C, air at 22.9°C, and rain is light (0.20 mm/day). As the season builds, the occasional NW swell with a southern wind can deliver a clean, fun session - a teaser of what awaits in October and November.
