Conditions at Winkipop in September
September: Winter Meets Spring, Still Firing
September extends the good run before spring takes full control. It has the highest average swell height of the year at 1.4m, and the average period holds at 13.0s. Swell energy is heavily concentrated in the SW quadrant - SSW, SW, and WSW make up around 84% of the total. Ideal wind settles to 48%, still solid, while W and WNW flows remain strong but the first signs of spring sea-breeze variability start creeping in. Air temp rises to 12.1°C, water temp sits at 13.4°C, and rainfall is still significant at 2.60mm/day.
This is a prime month for solid groundswell. The combination of bigger average size and long-period energy can put Winkipop in the firing line, especially before the sea breeze becomes a daily issue. If winter held on a little longer, September would be the jackpot.
