Conditions at Sidi R'bat in September
September: The First Hint of Autumn
September is a month of transition, and you can start to feel the Atlantic waking up. The average swell height is still modest at 4-5ft (1.4m), but the period stretches back up to 10.1s - a sign that longer-period energy is beginning to move. The direction mix remains heavily NNW (74%) with NW at 21%, but the growing period helps what does arrive stand up with more shape. The wind, however, is still summery: ideal offshore flow is only 7%, while WNW (32%), NW (21%) and W (18%) winds keep the surface bumpy. Air temperature is 23.8°C, rainfall is 0.33 mm/day and water temperature is the warmest of the year at 19.4°C. Keep an eye on the last few days of September - early autumn lows can already spin up the first sizeable NW swell of the season, and offshore wind odds are slowly starting to climb.
