September: The Fall Switch Flicks On
September is the comeback month. Average swell rises to 4.9ft (1.5m), the period stretches back to 10.8s, and ideal wind jumps to 27% - a huge improvement over July and August. The swell direction story is WNW at 44%, W at 24%, and NW at 18%, as the first deep low-pressure systems in the Gulf of Alaska start throwing long-period groundswell down the coast. There is still plenty of NNW wind (30%), but more E/SE offshore days occur under early fall high pressure, giving Lincoln City cleaner, more organized surf. Expect fun 3-6ft (0.9-1.8m) waves with the occasional bigger pulse as the month progresses. Water temp is 11.8°C, air averages 14°C, and precipitation is still light at 1.8mm/day - the best value month of the transition.
