September: Tropical Moisture Meets Weak Swell
September is the most seasonable transition month on paper. The wind is ideal 52% of the time, and the ESE trade-wind dominance relaxes slightly to 48.1%, with E at 34.3%. There is also a touch more SE (11.3%) and SSE (2.7%) than usual, indicating that tropical waves are passing through the region. But the average swell height drops to the yearly low of 2ft (0.7m), and the period is only 6.1s. That combination offers little push at north-facing La Ocho. Air temperature is 27.8°C, water temperature peaks at 29.2°C, and rainfall is highest at 6.0mm/day. The occasional tropical swell could show up, but don't book a trip around it.
