Conditions at Hookipa Beach Park in September
September: The Autumn Flip Begins
September is the first month that genuinely rewards patience again. Average period jumps to 9.8s, ideal offshore wind rises to 27%, and the swell rose begins to include N at 3.8% and NNW at 3.8%. ENE is still the workhorse at 48.0%, with NE at 19.6% and E at 14.0%, so the mix is mostly trade swell with the first taste of longer-period north energy. The average height remains 1.3m (4.3ft), but when a young north Pacific low sends a pulse, Hookipa can suddenly produce clean, head-high waves with far more shape.
Wind is still dominated by E and ESE trades - 83.4% combined - but the higher ideal-wind percentage means more windows with S/SW/WSW flow. Water temp is a warm 26.6°C, air temp 25.0°C, and rainfall is 1.02 mm/day. This is a great month for flexible surfers who can drop everything when the first properly angled NNW swell shows up.
