Conditions at Port Mary in September
September: Autumn's First Spark
September is the month when Port Mary starts to wake up. The average swell rises to 6.6ft (2.0m), though the period is still only 9.9s. The directional window remains dominated by WSW/SW, with SSW adding plenty of energy, and the height distribution becomes more evenly spread into the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) pumping bracket. The developing autumn storm track sends early-season gales across the North Atlantic, and with the right timing the surf can be surprisingly strong. Still, ideal wind is only 26 percent and onshore SSE/S winds are frequent, so sessions can be a puzzle. Air temperature cools to 11.4°C, water sits at 13.0°C, and precipitation jumps to 9.13mm/day. September is a transition month, but it has genuine bite at Port Mary.
