Conditions at Playa Jobos in September
September: Hurricane Season Turns the Page
September is the hinge month between the summer doldrums and the winter season. Average wave period jumps back to 9.0s, while height remains moderate at 4-5ft (1.4m). The swell rose still favors ENE at 48.9% and NE at 21.8%, but NNE reappears at 8.4% and N/NNW starts showing signs of life. This is the height of hurricane season, so the long-period potential is real: a northward-moving system can deliver very powerful 15s+ swell to this NNW-facing coastline. Winds remain from E/ENE most of the time, but favorable wind frequency reaches 64%, a solid number for a transitional month. Water temperature is warmest at 29.2°C, air temps average 27.8°C, and rainfall is high at 5.74mm/day. Keep an eye on the tropics and the buoy readings.
