September: Peak Tropical Chaos and Maximum Surf Size
September is the rawest month of the year at Boca Chica. Average swell height ties for the annual max at 5ft (1.6m), and the period remains a long 13.1s, but the eastern Pacific hurricane season is at its absolute peak, with rainfall spiking to 11.07mm/day. The SSW direction supplies nearly 64 percent of the wave energy, while S and SW add another 31 percent, meaning the swell direction is about as good as it gets for the beach. The offshore wind percentage holds at 51 percent, but the atmosphere is humid and stormy, with frequent tropical waves, downpours and shifting winds. This is a month when you can see both 8ft (2.4m) hurricane groundswell and complete wind-blown chaos in the same week. Only patient, experienced surfers need apply.
