September: First Signs of Fall
September is a transition month, and the first stirrings of the North Atlantic are visible in the data. The average height has dropped to 1.5m (5ft), but the average period climbs back over the 10s mark to 10.1s. The swell direction remains dominated by NNW at 74.0 percent, with NW at 19.0 percent, yet the longer period is a sign that real lows are starting to form. The wind is more favorable than mid-summer as well, with ideal offshore conditions 42 percent of the time. Days with a light E/SE land breeze and a modest NW groundswell can produce surprisingly fun, ripable waves. Water temperature is at its warmest at 18.4C, air averages 22.2C, and the lighter crowds make September a hidden gem for locals.
