Conditions at Maraa in September

September: Spring Flip-Flop

September is a transition month. The swell engine is still running - average height 7ft (2.1m), period 12.2 seconds - but the distribution is shifting. S and SSW combine for around 36 percent of the swell, while SSE at 22.7 percent and SE at 13.2 percent keep pressing. Maraa sees solid south energy, yet the frequent southeastern background swell can keep the surface lumpy even before local wind gets involved.

Wind quality starts to crawl back, with ideal conditions at 26 percent. E is strong at 24 percent and ESE at 29 percent, so mornings remain the cleanest window as the trade flow fights the spring transition. Water temperature is 26.3°C, air 25.2°C, and rain is at its annual minimum of 1.4 mm/day. If you time it right, September still serves up powerful south swells with the bonus of dry skies.
