Conditions at Los Frailes in September
September: Hurricane Season Peak
September is the wild card of the year. The average swell height reaches its maximum around 3ft (0.9m), and the S/SSE window still accounts for roughly 93 percent of the energy, with the SSE quadrant showing a meaningful share of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) waves. Tropical cyclones in the eastern Pacific are most active now, and a well-placed system can send bigger, powerful swell into this south-facing beach. Ideal wind time improves to 39 percent as the first northern cold fronts sneak down, but the overall pattern is humid and wet - precipitation peaks at 3.55 mm/day and water temp hits 30.0°C. If you see a hurricane approaching the Baja peninsula, grab the opportunity; otherwise, be ready for mostly soft, lumpy conditions.
