Conditions at Canet Plage in September
September: The First Whispers of Change
September is a transitional month where the ocean begins to stir again. Average swell height inched back up to 0.8m (2.6ft) and the period lengthens slightly to 4.6 seconds. The swell direction is still largely NNW (23.2%) and NW (13.7%), but E (8.3%) and SE (9.1%) swells start to gain strength as early-autumn lows develop in the Gulf. Wind conditions remain summer-like: NW at 32.5%, ideal wind 23%. Sea surface temperature is still warm at 21.3°C (70.3°F). It's a month of small but promising little bumps - not yet winter, but no longer flat. Keep an eye on the charts for the first true Mediterranean storm of the season; those early systems can create surprisingly punchy waves on the east-facing beaches.
