Conditions at Ammoudia in September
September: First Signs of Autumn
September marks a subtle but real shift back towards surfability. Average height is still 1.3ft (0.4m), and average period is 4.5s, but ideal wind rises to 11% and the offshore NE/ENE/E/ESE component (29.6%) begins to rival the onshore summer breeze. Swell direction is again western: WNW (25.2%), NW (18.5%), WSW (15.0%), W (12.1%) and SW (10.6%), with most waves still small. Water temperature hits 24.2°C, air averages 23.2°C, and rainfall jumps to 2.39 mm/day, hinting that the storm track is waking up. Late September is the time to watch for the first real cold front of autumn - it can produce 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) waves with clean offshore flow, especially in the mornings.
