Conditions at Cabo Ledo in September
September: Shoulder Season Power
September is the shoulder month that still delivers. Swell height eases just a little to 4ft (1.2m), the period stays at 12.6 seconds, and the SSW/SW distribution remains almost perfectly split. There is still enough 5-6ft (1.5-2m) energy to keep the outside sandbanks interesting, but the consistency of head-high-plus waves starts to fade compared with mid-winter.
Light offshore winds blow 65 percent of the time, though the WSW component becomes more prominent as the subtropical high begins to reposition. Water temperature warms to 21.7°C and there is almost no rain. It is a fine month for higher wave counts and smaller performance boards, especially on the early morning offshore sessions.
