September: Fall Teaser
September is the epitome of the fall transition. The swell window is still tuned to the south, with WSW at 31%, SW at 31%, and SSW at 18%, and the average period of 12.4s keeps the energy clean and organized. But surf size remains small at around 3ft (0.9m) and ideal wind is only 28%. Air temps are at their warmest with an average of 21.9°C, while water temperature hits 17.5°C, the highest of the year. As the North Pacific high weakens, the first early-season NW swells begin sneaking in, though the dominant west/WSW wind still favors a dawn-patrol strategy.
