September: A Tale of Two Monsoons
September is a transition month, and the data show it clearly. Average swell height holds at around 3.3ft (1.0m) with a period of 7.2s, but the direction is a battle: WSW (22%), SW (18%), NNW (17%), N (10%), W (9%), NW (6%) and WNW (6%) all contribute. This mix means Darigayos can receive both southwest monsoon swell and early northeast monsoon pulses, sometimes in the same week. The wind remains predominantly southerly - S (22%), SSW (18%) and SW (9%) - but the northerly components are increasingly common. Ideal winds sit at 34%, and the offshore E/ESE/SE flow arrives around 7% of the time. Rain is still heavy at 14.00 mm/day, with air temperatures of 24.2°C and water at 29.7°C. Quality is inconsistent; however, when a tropical storm tracks west and the wind briefly shifts east, the mix of NW and W swell can create excellent, punchy surf.
