Conditions at Stuart Public Beach in September
September: Autumn Swell Returns
September is a major turning point. Average swell height climbs back to 3ft (1.0m), period jumps to 8.2s, and ideal wind is 20 percent. The distribution flips dramatically toward the optimal quadrant: NE jumps to 32%, ENE to 30%, E to 17%, and NNE to 7%. Tropical and early-season extratropical systems now send more organized groundswell into the Florida coast, with the NE quadrant delivering a healthy slice of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) faces, including some 6.5ft+ (2m+) bombs. The wind, however, is still largely from ENE/E/ESE, keeping the surface textured on many days. Still, September offers the first real taste of proper surf after summer's flat spell, and when the wind cooperates it can be very good. Water temp is 28.4°C, air averages 27.6°C, and precipitation is 6.50 mm/day.
