Conditions at Yin Yang in September

September: The Monsoon Holds Its Ground

September keeps the southwest monsoon alive, though the period dips slightly to 6.9s. Ideal wind remains at 53%, with W (24.6%) and WSW (21.8%) still providing excellent offshore flow for Yin Yang. Swell direction is still heavily south-based: SSE 35.4%, S 23.8%, SSW 16.8%, SW 12.9% and WSW 5.5%. Average height is a solid 1.3m (4.3ft), and there is still a meaningful amount of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) energy from the S, SSW and SW quadrants. September is a good month for surfers who want the power of the southwest monsoon without the extreme wind strengths of late spring. It is the last month of the year that delivers truly reliable, clean, rippable waves before the monsoon begins to fade.
