Conditions at Lagkouvardos in September
September: First Signs of Life
September is still in the summer lull, but the pulse is starting to quicken. Average wave height remains around 1.5ft (0.5m), average period is only 4.7s, and ideal offshore wind is back up slightly to 6%. The dominant energy is still NW (33.5%) and WNW (24.6%), with W (15.8%) and a growing WSW component (8.1%) as the first autumn lows begin to stir. Wind-wise, NNW (28.8%) and NW (23.3%) still rule, but the Meltemi is weaker and there are more days with E/ESE land breezes than in June-August. Water temperatures remain warm at 25.5°C, so thin rubber or even boardshorts are fine. Early-season Mediterranean lows can already deliver punchy west/southwest swell, making September a wildcard month - mostly flat, but occasionally more fun than the summer months.
