Conditions at Playa de Meron in September
September: The Reawakening
September is when the North Atlantic starts to stretch its muscles again. The average swell height moves up to 1.3m (4ft) and the average period climbs to 10.3s, pushing back into the early stages of long-period territory. NW swell remains the absolute dominant direction at 50.2 percent, with NNW at 25.7 percent and WNW at 7.6 percent. The height distribution is also more encouraging, with a solid share of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) waves and a growing amount of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) swell. The first genuine groundswell pulses of autumn are now possible.
Ideal offshore wind is still only 21 percent, and NE and ENE winds continue to make their presence felt. But September also sits within the Atlantic tropical cyclone season, and when tropical systems or early autumn frontal storms line up, they can send long-period W to NW energy toward the northern Spanish coast. Water temperature is a warm 19.9°C, air temperature averages 19.3°C, and precipitation starts to rise at 1.92 mm/day. The trend is upward; this is the first month of the seasonal transition back toward the winter gold.
