Conditions at Playa Serena in September
September: Maximum Swell, Messier Sky
September has the highest percentage of SSW energy on paper, with 96.2% of the wave rose coming from that direction, but the quality dial shifts. Average period drops to 10.7s and, more importantly, regional winds turn mixed: SW reaches 13.3%, SSW 9.7%, WSW 8.4% and S 5.9%, while ideal offshore windows fall to 57%. That means the surf is there every day, but it can be bumpy and soft when onshore flow takes over. Heights average 0.7m (2.3ft), with 3.9% in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) range and 0.1% up to 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft). This is the wettest month at 9.21mm/day and water temperature is 29.4°C. Consistency is high, but average quality is lower, so the early morning offshore window is your best bet.
