September: Autumn Ignition and Long-Period Swell
September is a turning point at State's Avenue. The average swell height rises to 4ft (1.2m) and, more importantly, the average period jumps to 8.4s - the highest of the year. The swell rose becomes well-rounded: E and ESE each deliver roughly 18% of observations, with SE at 17% and SSE at 11.7%. For a beach facing SSE, this translates into more organized, powerful waves than anything in the previous three months.
Wind conditions improve too. The ideal-wind mark is 28%, and the growing frequency of cold fronts brings more NW and NNW offshore flow. Water temperature is still pleasant at 22.3°C and air averages 20.7°C, so it is one of the most comfortable surf months of the year. Add tropical moisture to the mix, and September can easily serve up the first legitimately pumping swell of the season.
