September: The Season Starts to Turn
September is the first true transition month out of summer. The average period jumps back to 9.1 seconds, and the swell distribution begins to spread out again. NE leads at 34.2%, ENE is close at 33.6%, and NNE reaches 12.7%. Pure north and NNW remain small at 4.5%, but the subtle shift toward the north in both swell direction and period is enough to make Table Top far more interesting than it was in July or August. Average height is still only 3-4ft (1.1m), so it is not winter yet, but the engines are starting to fire.
The wind is the big story in September. The ideal-wind percentage rises to 47%, one of the best months of the year, with ENE at 32.4% and E at 26.8% leading but many more southeast and south interludes. These clean windows pair beautifully with the first north-swell pulses. With water temperature at 29.2°C and air temperatures averaging 27.8°C, it is still full tropical mode, and September is also the wettest month on average at 5.74mm/day-so watch the radar between sessions.
