Conditions at Tadado in September
September: The Prime Window
September is the crown jewel of the year at Tadado. The combination of late-season typhoon activity and the first impulses of the winter monsoon from the north creates a beautiful equilibrium. Average swell height is 5-6ft (1.6m) and the period stretches to 8.7s - powerful and organised. While the swell direction is split more toward E/ENE (34% together), the optimal SSE/S/SSW/SW window still delivers 34% of the energy, and crucially, the wind shifts hard to the N-NE: offshore winds now dominate with NE at 26% and ENE at 18%. The ideal surfing wind percentage jumps to 24%, and onshore S/SW winds drop to 14%. The result: clean, lined-up southerly groundswell groomed by offshore breezes. Water temp remains warm at 26.1°C, air at 25.0°C, and rain is heavy at 8.1 mm/day - but every weather system seems to bring surf. This is the month to plan a trip around.
