September: Tropical Swell and the First Taste of Autumn
September is a crossover month. The average wave height is still modest at around 3.6ft (1.1m), but the period climbs back to 9.1s, and favorable N/NNE/NNW energy returns to about 17 percent of the mix. NE/ENE still dominate at 68 percent, but the overall character is less sloppy than July and August. Cape Verde hurricane swells, in particular, can deliver clean groundswell and transform the beach from a groveler into a proper surf spot.
Wind quality improves as well, with ideal offshore flow at 48 percent. The trades are still present, but S/SSW windows become more frequent, especially before the seabreeze kicks in. Water temp is a warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), air temps average 28.5°C (83.3°F), and rainfall is the highest of the year at 4.91 mm/day. It is a messy, stormy, but promising month.
