September: First Signs of Life
September is a transition month, and for the first time since spring you can feel the ocean starting to wake up. Average swell height ticks up slightly to 1.1m (3.6ft) and the average period jumps back to 9.1s, a clear sign that longer-period energy is reappearing. The swell direction is still centered on NE and ENE, with NE at 34.2 percent and ENE at 33.6 percent, but the distribution is diversifying a bit, with more NNE energy and a small increase in NNW sets. It is not yet winter, but the wave quality is noticeably better than the summer trough.
Winds remain friendly, with ideal conditions 82 percent of the time. ENE flows at 25.0 percent and E at 20.8 percent, keeping the Point groomed and glassy. Water temperature peaks at 29.3°C, air temps average 28.5°C, and precipitation is high at 4.91 mm/day. As tropical systems become more active, there is also the chance of bonus energy from passing storms and low-pressure systems in the western Atlantic.
