I lived in SD for 18 years, just recently moved up to Hood River. I can say without a doubt that late September is one of the worst months for wind in SD. The ocean is warm and the desert is warm, so no thermal winds. March, April, May & June can be OK for a 14m, or mid-winter just before stormfronts roll in.
Just find a longboard and go surfing at Cardiff, Swamis, or other north county beach. This weekend should be a decent south swell. |

If you're going there for a month bring your biggest kite....and you might get one or two days on the water. Only a week and I wouldn't bother, you'd need some darn good luck.
Count on doing some surfing, biking, sailing, etc instead. Some swell should start coming in soon, but summers are mostly flat. _________________ "all I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."

summers aren't flat, you just need to know where to go.  |
