Conditions at Storvika in September
September: A Faint Autumn Pulse in the Far North
September is the first month where synoptic-scale autumn storms become a theoretical possibility. Yet the measured wave statistics remain lifeless - 0.0ft (0.0m) average height, 0.0s average period, and 0% ideal surf. The wind field begins to regain structure: SE 11.0%, SSE 7.6%, S 7.8%, SSW 11.3%, plus SW 11.3% and WSW 7.3%. The offshore SE through SSW block climbs back to about 37.7%, which is encouraging for those one or two N/NW groundswell days that can sneak down from the Norwegian Sea.
Air temperatures average 9.1°C (min 1.1°C, max 17.9°C), water is still a workable 11.8°C, and precipitation increases to 5.08 mm/day. If Storvika ever produces a good score, September is the month with the least hostile conditions and a slowly waking ocean.
