September: The Transition Back to Life
September signals the first real change in the seasonal cycle. Average swell is still modest at 1.7m (5.6ft), but the period has improved to 9.2s and the direction distribution is broadening. ENE remains dominant at 46.2%, but NE (18.1%), E (13.9%), NNE (9.1%) and NNW (5.5%) all show that the autumn machinery is beginning to stir. Tropical systems in the Atlantic and the first cold fronts of the season can deliver longer-period pulses that make Log Cabins substantially more interesting than it has been since spring.
Winds are still predominantly ENE/E trades at 44.0% and 41.5%, keeping the break in an offshore-affected flow, and ideal wind is already back up to 25%. The ocean is at its warmest: 26.7°C, with air at 26.2°C. Precipitation remains low at 1.34mm/day, but tropical convection can bring sudden squalls. September is a shoulder month with genuine potential if a storm tracks near the local waters.
