September: Grinding Swell Under the Wet-Season Cloud Cover
September keeps the average swell height at 1.0m (3.3ft) with a period of 12.8s, but the mix shifts noticeably toward the SW - 38% SW and 61% SSW. This is still a fine direction for Nestles, and 45% of the waves fall in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) range, with a few 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) pulses. The problem is the weather pattern. Ideal wind hits a lowly 11%, W and WNW together account for over 55% of the wind, and rain peaks at 10.05mm/day. Air temperatures slip to 26.4°C, but water remains warm at 28.5°C. Expect plenty of powerful, lumpy, rain-soaked surf; only the occasional lull in the onshore flow makes it genuinely rideable.
