Conditions at Kraakevika in September
September: The Autumn Reboot
September is where Kraakevika begins to rebrand itself as a proper surf spot. The average wave height rises to 3-4ft (1.1m), the period sharpens to 8.9s, and the dominant swell directions - WSW (17%), W (18%), WNW (16%), and NW (14%) - make up nearly two-thirds of the wave energy. The Atlantic storm track is becoming more active, and those lows dragging across the Norwegian Sea send back some of the long-period groundswell that summer lacked. Ideal offshore winds reach 22%, offering more clean windows than in July, though SW winds (15%) and SSW (10%) still bring plenty of rain and bump. Water temperature is still relatively pleasant at 13.8°C, air averages 11.1°C, and precipitation is 5.56 mm/day. The days are getting shorter, but the right September depression can make Kraakevika very good.
