    Differentials between air and water temperatures are least in September.

    Might be, until someone in the nearest town flushes a bout of diorrhea down the toilet.

    Depends where and when - if you are in shallow tidal water in mid afternoon it'll feel a lot better than deep water in the morning.

    As north and south side refers to a river that flows in to the sea, technically it wouldn't be possible to swim on the north side if you were in the sea.

    Sea temperatures tend to be highest in August and September.

    There always seems to be great waves in September too.
