  Peak: No fixed peak. Breeding is opportunistic and follows cold water, not the calendar; it is most frequent in the cool season, generally May–December. Juveniles are reported on shorelines around October (operator source, unverified). CONDITIONAL: this window only exists in ENSO-neutral or La Niña years — see the El Niño Avoid window.

  Peak: Current event: NOAA CPC (Sept 2026) gives >90% chance of a very strong El Niño through Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2026–27, and a 75% chance of a historic event (beyond anything since 1950) in Oct–Dec 2026. IRI saw little sign of transition before spring 2027. Recovery of the penguin population lags the event by years.
