Conditions at Tocones in September
September: Wettest Transition
September is the wettest month and has the warmest water of the year at Tocones, with 6.02 mm/day of precipitation and water temperatures peaking at 29.2°C. The swell averages 2.3ft (0.7m) at a 6.1s period, the smallest of the year, but the wind becomes favorable 37% of the time as the trade-wind gradient relaxes. ESE swell still leads at 48%, followed by E at 34% and SE at 11%, and the majority of waves are in the 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) groveling range. It is a transition month: tropical storms can add energy and rain, but when a weak high-pressure ridge keeps winds light, the water is bathwater-calm and the small waves become genuinely fun.
