September: The North Atlantic Wakes Up
September is the turning point at Las Salinas. The average wave height is still modest at 1.2m (4ft), but the average period jumps to 10.0s, and the percentage of ideal wind jumps to 28% - the best since April. That is a clear sign that the storm track is shifting back toward Europe. The wave rose is as NNW-dominant as ever: NNW 61.2%, N 24.1%, NW 5.3% and NNE 8.7%. The wind becomes a little less aggressive than summer, with NNE at 38.9%, NNW at 23.5% and N at 19.5%, and many of those pulses are lighter 10-20kph breezes. The result is better shaped waves, cleaner faces, and a growing number of workable sessions. Water temperature is still a warm 23.0°C, air temperature averages 23.1°C, and rain is still light at 0.19mm/day. This is the month to watch the forecast and start charging again.
