Conditions at Recco in September
September: The First Hint of Renewed Energy
September is a transitional tease. The water is still warm at 22.7C, air temps average 18.0C, and the long summer days are fading, but the swell remains small: average 1.5-2ft (0.5m) with a 4.6s average period. The direction rose is still favorable, with SW at 28.5% and SSW at 14.3%, while the N/NNW component also begins to grow as cooler continental air starts creeping in. The wind regime shifts back toward surf-friendly: NNE winds return to 16.5%, NE adds 8.0%, and the ideal wind score rises to 13%. Early-season synoptic lows can generate the first true SSW/SW swell pulses, and the increased rainfall of 2.81 mm/day is a sign of more active weather. Still, consistency isn't there yet. If a strong cold front delivers 3ft (0.9m) plus SW windswell with offshore N-NNE winds, Recco can serve up its first real surf session in months - but be prepared for plenty of small, lumpy days in between.
