September: Spring Transition and Still Plenty of Punch
September is the spring transition, and Green Island can still deliver excellent days. Average height is 1.6m (5ft), period drops to 8.7s, and ideal wind remains respectable at 50 percent.

The swell window is still generous - S (16.5 percent) and SSE (16.4 percent) are the dominant sources - but NE and ENE energy grows quickly, mixing in shorter-period swell.
