Conditions at Wabasso in September
September: The Turning Point
September is when the Atlantic basin comes alive. Average wave heights rise to 0.8m (2.6ft) and the period jumps to 9.0s - the best of the year to this point - even while ideal wind remains at a modest 18%. The swell rose is suddenly packed with ENE (35.6%), E (37.5%) and NE (13.3%), and the distribution curve pushes deeper into the 1-1.5m range than any month since spring. This is hurricane season in full swing; the longer periods often carry real energy. The issue is the wind: ENE (15.1%) and E (13.1%) are the most common, so waves frequently have onshore texture. Still, any offshoring west wind during a tropical swell event will produce some of the best, cleanest surf of the year. Air temp averages 26.8°C, water temp is still very warm at 28.7°C.
