Conditions at Caswell Beach in September
September: Autumn's First Whispers
September is when the Atlantic starts to reawaken. Average wave heights pull back up to 3ft (0.9m) and the average period rises to 8.1s, a sign that storm systems are beginning to generate more organised groundswell. The directional mix remains WSW/W-heavy at around 61%, but the favourable SSE-S-SW sector reaches about 13%, and with water still at 16.7°C and air at 14.7°C, it is one of the most comfortable months for surfing. Precipitation is a moderate 2.75mm/day, and ideal offshore winds are still low at 12%, so you have to pick your days. When an early autumn low tracks the right way, Caswell can light up with clean, punchy, 3ft-plus waves before the winter cold arrives.
