Conditions at Levanto in September
September: First Signs of Autumn Life
September is the slow wake-up call. Average wave heights are still small at 1.5-2ft (0.5m) and the period is a juiceless 4.8s, but ideal surf wind rises to 17% and there are signs of more substantial swell in the data. SW energy (29.7%) is supplemented by WSW (13.6%) and SSW (8.1%), and the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) band begins to reappear inside the SW spectrum, with a few 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) readings. More importantly, NNE and NE winds return as the dominant wind group - a combined 25.5%, with ENE and E adding another 10.9% - which lays the groundwork for clean autumn surfaces. Air temperatures stay warm at 21.5°C, water remains summery at 22.3°C, and rainfall picks up to 2.67mm/day as the first Atlantic fronts test the Med. If you are flexible and the forecast shows a post-frontal NE wind, September can surprise.
