Tips for visiting Airlie Beach in September

By John Nayler


Introduction

You will find plenty of reasons to come to Airlie Beach in September along with everyone else. For this reason, you will find the town full and standard pricing. The town is a buzz and with good reason - its great. The only way to find out for real is to come see for yourself.

Action about town

The vibe in Airlie Beach comes to the highest point it would seem in this month. The weather is absolutely sublime and the tourists flock to town for various reasons. The buzz around town is great as higher tourist numbers bring smiles to the faces of the tourist and business operators. Wedding numbers are also at their peak at this time, so you will find wedding group, bucks and hens parties about the town, in the bars, or partying late at night.

September Weather

As winter has properly disappeared, September is amazing as it the month of the lightest winds and least rain. The temperatures are probably at their best in this month for people who are not accustomed to the tropics. Its neither too hot or too cold as Goldilocks would say. Importantly, the winds also may turn to the North or North East on days during September. In this case, the temperatures will seem to jump in just one day - as they have. The North winds will arrive with warmer airs from the equatorial zone. The typical rest of year South East winds come from lower latitudes and thus cooler airs.

Accommodation Prices

Don't expect much in the way of accommodation deals in September and the advice is to book ahead to avoid disappointment. There are plenty of occasions when a whole resort or motel may book out for a weekend with a wedding party, putting pressure on the other places to stay to take the rest of the numbers. All this combines to mean that you should expect to pay the full or near to full price.

September Risks In The Water

Scientists will tell you that there is a risk of being stung by Irukandji or Box Jelly Fish during this time of the year and this is where the bad news ends. The truth is that there have been few stings recorded in the month of September and usually related to last minute accommodation bookings. The conditions are otherwise great. Lighter winds, sunshine, water at 23-25 degrees Centigrade If you ask for more than this you are being greedy. All combined, its makes the air to water transition perfect, and conditions in the water for swimming, snorkelling and diving very very nice.

September Summary

Weddings, groups, families on school holidays arrive in numbers in September. Perfect timed, the weather is nice, the winds are light, temperatures are great in and out of the water. No wonder it is the peak time for Airlie Beach. Come and enjoy.
