Conditions at Manangat in September
September: The Transition Window
September is maybe Manangat's most interesting month. The southwest monsoon is still active, with SW at 22.4 percent and WSW at 22.3 percent, while N and NNW swell is also reappearing at 7.9 and 14.1 percent respectively. Average height is a clean 3ft (0.9m), period is 7.1s, and there is a good mix of 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) energy coming from both the north and south.
The wind begins to shift. Ideal offshore wind days climb to 20 percent, and while SSW still dominates at 20.3 percent, the NE components are slowly rebuilding. Rain remains heavy at 12.97mm per day, water temperature is 29.7°C, and air temperature is 25.4°C.
This transition month offers the best chance to score direct southwest swell with a cleaner surface. Watch for a strengthening Siberian High late in the month; when the morning wind clock swings to the north and northeast and a south-west groundswell is running, Manangat is worth the paddle.
