September: First Signs of Autumn - Hope on the Horizon
September is a transitional month with a slight upward tick in energy. Average swell rises to 0.6m (2ft) and the period to 4.3s. The primary swell directions remain WSW (15.0%), S (14.4%), and SW (11.9%), while the first SSE pulses (10.6%) of autumn start to show. Ideal wind improves to 12%, and offshore N/NE winds total around 25%, bringing the odds of a clean session back up. Water temp is still warm at 23.2°C (74°F), air temp pleasant at 21.9°C, but precipitation climbs to 2.67mm/day - early autumnal lows are starting to form. When a low cuts across the Tyrrhenian, Ristorante can see its first fun-size (1-1.5m / 3-5ft) swell of the season, and with fewer flat days, September marks the beginning of the return to real surfing.
