Conditions at Praia da Saudade in September
September: More Size, Fewer Clean Windows
September is the classic early-spring tease. Average swell height reaches 0.9m (2-3ft), and the period holds at 8.7 seconds, but the direction mix is very east-heavy: E (40%), ESE (29%), SE (19%), and SSE (10%). Notably, nearly 30% of all swells land in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, the most of any month - so there is real power in the water. The catch is wind. Ideal wind falls to 19%, and the onshore ENE/E/ESE/SE sector jumps to about 30%, with NE trades gusting past 20kph. Offshore flow from WSW/W/WNW/NW totals only about 5%. Water temperature creeps up to 19.5°C, air averages 17.9°C, and rainfall increases to 4.86 mm/day. The bigger E/SE swell can be world-class if you can catch one of the rare W/NW wind windows.
