September: The Tail of Winter, Still Howling
September is the tail-end of winter, but there is no sign of a let-up. Average swell remains at 6-7ft (1.9m) with a 12.9s period. SSW swell contributes 73.3%, while S-swell peaks for the whole year at 18.6%. The period is still long enough to be powerful, and a large share of waves sits in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range. What makes September particularly frustrating at Oscar Point is the wind: 93% of observations blow from the onshore S-SSW-SW quadrant, and the ideal offshore sector sees absolutely no significant presence. Water temp remains cool at 15.2°C, with air at 16.8°C. There is plenty of surf, but September is statistically one of the worst months for clean conditions at this break.
