Conditions at Arma di Taggia in September
September: Autumn's First Pulse
September is a quiet month but marks the beginning of the seasonal shift. Average swell height is still only 0.4m (1.3ft) and period 4.5s, yet the first autumn lows start stretching into the western Mediterranean, introducing slightly more SSE-S swell. The wave rose shows SSW (27.5%), SW (15.8%), S (10.1%), and ESE/SE/SSE combined at 20.4%. Offshore wind chance remains low at 7%, with NE/ENE and SW winds almost equally split. Water is warm at 22.1°C, air averages 19.3°C, and precipitation rises to 2.43mm/day. Most days are small and lumpy, but when a low-pressure system stalls over the Gulf of Lions and sends south-easterly swell plus an evening offshore wind, the setup can produce clean waist-high waves - a teaser for the better months ahead.
