September: First Signs of a New Season
September is a quiet transition month with the first hints of winter. Average swell height is still only 4ft (1.3m), but the period ticks up to 9.8s. ENE remains the dominant source at 48.0%, followed by NE at 19.6% and E at 14.0%. Yet the north begins to stir: N and NNW contributions appear at 3.8% each, and the ideal offshore wind score improves to 23%-the best since April. Early season low pressures in the North Pacific can produce the first long-period pulses of the autumn, and if they arrive with light southerly flow, Jaws can suddenly come to life. Water temp is a warm 26.6°C, air temp 25.0°C, and rainfall remains modest at 1.02mm/day.
