Conditions at Canide Norte in September
September: The First Stirrings of Autumn - Longer Periods Return
September is where the ocean starts waking up. Average swell height climbs back to 1.1m (3.6ft) and, more importantly, the mean period jumps to 10.4s - the first real ground swell of the new season. The direction mix remains summer-like with WNW (42.0%) and NW (39.3%) dominant, but W (11.5%) is more present, and a growing number of waves push into the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) range. The wind still needs work: ideal offshore flow is only 25%, and NNW winds remain strong at 31.1%, but the first cold fronts of autumn often deliver a clean transition with easterly winds behind them. Those are the windows to watch. Water temp is still warm at 16.8°C, air temp averages 19.2°C, and rainfall rises to 1.92mm/day. It is a sneak preview of winter.
