Conditions at Lake Worth in September
September: Tropical Energy Awakens
September brings a dramatic jump in surf size and power, fueled by the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. The average swell height leaps to 1.0m (3.3ft) and the period stretches to 8.2s - that's the longest of the year so far. Swell direction is overwhelmingly from the NE (31.6%) and ENE (30.3%), a classic result of gales and hurricanes churning the tropical and subtropical Atlantic. The percentage of ideal offshore winds rises to 18%, though the trade wind regime still tries to dominate with E and ENE onshore flow. When a hurricane or cold front pushes past the Bahamas, Lake Worth can see head-high or larger waves with genuine power. The water temperature is still warm at 29.5°C, and air temps average 27.6°C. Precipitation is high at 6.36 mm/day, typical of tropical rainbands. The surf is inconsistent but the potential for serious XL sessions is what makes September an exciting, albeit challenging, month to watch the forecast.
