Conditions at Playa Mar Verde in September

September: The Statistical Low Point

September is the heart of Caribbean hurricane season and also the month with the least consistent surf at Playa Mar Verde. Average swell height falls to 0.6m (2.0ft), average period is 6.6s, and the ideal-wind percentage drops to just 30. The sea is dominated by SE (50.8%) and ESE (32.4%) swells, but almost all of it sits in the 0-0.5m and 0.5-1m bins - small, lumpy and hard to ride with any power. Onshore SSE and S flow becomes more common, and the daily tropical shower cycle adds to the chop. Air temperature remains warm at 28.1°C and water is at its warmest of the year, 29.6°C. If a hurricane or tropical storm tracks through the right quadrant, it can flip the script with big, powerful S/SE swell, but on the average day you are looking at micro-grovel conditions.
