September: Monsoon Retreat Brings Better Texture
September is the month when Puri starts to turn the corner. Average swell height drops to 1.2m (4ft), but the period stretches to 10.3s, adding real push to the lines. A remarkable 84.4 percent of the swell arrives from the S, with 49.8 percent in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class and 6.2 percent reaching 1.5-2m (5-7ft). Wind distribution is still split: SSW and SW combine for around 48 percent, but NE and N/NNW directions have strengthened, pushing ideal wind to 20 percent. This makes September the best of the monsoon months, especially in the final fortnight when the trough retreats and lighter offshore mornings become common. Rain is still prominent at 8.55mm/day, but the water remains a warm 29.5°C.
