September: Spring Transition Brings East Swell Back
September is a shoulder month, but a good one. Ideal wind sits at 52%, average period drops to 8.8s and average swell is 1.5m (5ft). The key change is directional: NNE (10.3%), NE (9.2%), ENE (8.2%) and E (11.6%) swell begins to mix with the fading SSE (21.1%) and SE (14.3%) groundswell, giving Lennox more of its preferred east angle. The wind rose is spring-like, with NNW (19.2%), NNE (8.4%) and N (6.5%) prominent-some of these are cross-offshore or light enough to keep the lines clean, and ideal wind still occurs over half the time. Air temp 19.6°C, water 20.5°C, rainfall 1.34 mm/day. There are plenty of crisp, sunny mornings with punchy east-northeast swell.
