September: Transitioning Toward Autumn
September is the first hint of recovery, albeit a weak one. Average swell height nudges up to 0.7m (2.3ft), period to 4.9s, and the E/ENE hold drops from the absurd summer peak to 66%. N/NNW/NW swell climbs to about 10%, with some 1-1.5m (3-5ft) pulses becoming possible toward the end of the month. However, the trades are still strong: ENE 22%, E 24%, and ESE 14% keep conditions bumpy. Ideal wind is a low 17%. With water still at 29.5°C and the tropics active, September is mostly about waiting for the first true cold-front swells of autumn, while occasionally scoring a fun session in a hurricane-adjacent swell window.
