Ken mid to late Sept is real sus: a month after the last front, and a month before the first proper, yet weak, seabreezes.
However I find we usually get a front in late Sept .... I thought it was just to p!ss orf the Royal Show people but I heard there is the spring equinox (correct celestial event??) about then so maybe that is responsible.
Anyway back on track: about 2 years outa 3 (I reckon) it blows and rains and stuff pretty close to 7-10 days before the end of Sept so you may be in luck.

If you chuck a sickie for the whole time and spend $5000 you could drive to Gnaraloo and have some epic days.

Gentlemen don't windsurf in September.

October / November is when the thermals kick off - through until March.

Try to get some more work during December or January and you are pretty much guaranteed some happy days.
